Opportunity Zones
In a March 2018 speech in Cincinnati, President Trump obliquely touted the Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) as a feature of the tax overhaul. Since inclusion in the 2017 tax law, Opportunity Zones have gained traction with the government designating zones in all 50 states and five U.S. territories. Foundations can and should play a role in supporting the eco-system that will ensure these funds be successful.
