New Tax Law Means Your Gift Can Go Further
A recent change in tax law now allows people who take the standard deduction to also deduct charitable contributions – up to $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for couples filing jointly.
Because about 86% of taxpayers take the standard deduction, this means millions more people can now receive a tax benefit for their charitable giving.
What this means in practice is that your gift may cost you less than the amount you donate, allowing you to potentially give more.
For example, if you donate $100 and your tax rate is around 30%, you may receive about $30 back in tax savings. That means your $100 gift may really cost you closer to $70, while still providing the full $100 in support.
In other words, your generosity can go even further!
