Your support makes a difference.

We believe that every survivor deserves a chance to heal.

If you share this belief, we hope you’ll consider making a donation to help us continue to provide survivors with critical programs and services.

Giving more in 2025 may have more tax benefits before 2026 changes take effect. You may want to consider a larger gift by December 31, 2025. 

See FAQs below for more information.

FAQs | Giving in 2025 vs 2026

    Given the new rules for 2026, many experts suggest that donors who itemize should consider a strategy called "bunching." By consolidating multiple years of charitable giving into a single large donation in 2025, you can: 
    • Avoid the new 0.5% AGI floor that takes effect in 2026.
    • Take advantage of the full 37% deduction value if you are in the top tax bracket, before the 35% cap begins.
    • Lock in a large deduction in 2025 and then take the standard deduction in later years when donations might not exceed the new AGI floor. 
  • Cash donations to public charities: You can deduct up to 60% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).
  • Non-cash assets: Appreciated assets, like stocks, are deductible up to 30% of your AGI.
  • Deduction floor: There is no minimum threshold based on a percentage of your AGI. You can deduct all eligible gifts up to the AGI limits. 
  • These benefits will DECREASE in 2026.
  • If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $108,000 tax-free directly from an IRA to a qualified charity.
  • This is not considered an itemized deduction but can be used to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). 
  • New 0.5% AGI floor: You can only deduct charitable contributions that exceed 0.5% of your AGI. For example, a taxpayer with a $200,000 AGI would have the first $1,000 of their donations excluded from the deduction ($200,000 x 0.005).
  • 60% AGI limit made permanent: The ability to deduct cash gifts to public charities up to 60% of AGI is now a permanent rule.
  • 35% cap on deduction value for top earners: If you are in the highest federal tax bracket (37%), the tax benefit of your itemized deductions will be capped at a 35% rate. 
  • Universal charitable deduction: A new permanent provision allows single filers who take the standard deduction to claim an additional deduction of up to $1,000 for cash donations. The limit is $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.
  • This new deduction is ONLY for cash gifts directly to charities (not DAFs or private foundations).
  • The inflation-adjusted limit for QCDs will increase to $115,000 per individual.
