News That Impacts Planned Giving

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, contains changes that may impact how or when you choose to make a charitable gift. Here’s what to expect starting in 2026:

  • A new deduction for nonitemizers. Claim an above-the-line deduction of $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 see their deductions capped at 35%. If you are in the highest tax bracket, consider giving now instead of waiting.
  • A new minimum giving threshold. All itemizers must give at least 0.5% of their adjusted gross income before claiming a deduction. You may want to give in 2025—or even bunch future gifts into this tax year.

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.

Spotlight on Giving

The Gift of Gratitude

Gratitude has a way of changing how we see the world. It centers us, even in the chaos of the season, and reminds us to pause and appreciate what matters most—family, purpose, and the chance to make the world a better place. At this time of year, we’re especially grateful for people like you, whose generosity strengthens our mission and changes lives in inspiring ways.
