New Charitable Giving Tax Updates |
Beginning in 2026, taxpayers will be able to claim both the standard deduction and an above-the-line deduction for cash charitable contributions up to $1,000 for individuals or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly. This applies only to cash gifts made directly to public charities and does not include donations to donor-advised funds or private foundations.
Also starting in 2026, donors in the 37% income tax bracket will see a cap on the tax benefit of itemized deductions at 35%. For example, a $1,000 donation will result in a tax savings of $350 rather than $370.
For corporate donors, charitable contribution deductions will no longer be capped at 1% of taxable income beginning in 2026. We also offer a variety of sponsorship and marketing opportunities that may allow corporate supporters to treat sponsorships as marketing expenses. If you want this adapted for an email, website, or donor-facing one-pager, just say the word. |
