Recent News
Legislative changes took effect January 1—changes that may impact how or when you choose to make a charitable gift.
- A new deduction for nonitemizers. Claim an above-the-line deduction of up to $1,000 ($2,000 for joint filers) for cash gifts to qualified public charities (excluding donor-advised funds). If you don’t typically itemize your taxes, this is a new opportunity to save.
- A new cap on deductions for top earners. Itemizers in the 37% tax bracket will have the tax benefit of their deductions capped at 35%.
- A new minimum giving threshold. Itemizers may only deduct gift amounts that surpass 0.5% of their adjusted gross income. You may want to consider bunching gifts for multiple years into one tax year to exceed both the giving floor and the high standard deduction.
One thing hasn’t changed—charitable giving is still a powerful way to make a difference, create a legacy, and make the most of tax-smart planning.

Spring Strategies for Your DAF
Spring cleaning often includes a reassessment of little-used items. Have you just forgotten to use them, or are they destined to be donated or thrown away? If you reassess your finances, you may realize that you haven’t been making good use of your donor-advised fund (DAF). Don’t let this important tool sit idle. Now is a great time to make a grant and make a difference.
