Legislative changes that took effect this year 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. Only the amount of total annual giving that surpasses 0.5% of your adjusted gross income qualifies for a deduction (if you itemize). 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.
