Your donations help protect children affected by war

U.S. TAX information for 2026: 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 (0r $2,000 for joint filers) for cash gifts to qualified public charities (excluding DAFs). If you do not typically itemize your taxes, this is a new opportunity to save.   A new cap on deductions of top earners. Itemizers in the 37% tax bracket will see their deductions capped at 35%.   A new minimum giving threshold. All itemizers must give at least 0.5% of their adjusted gross income before claiming a deduction.   What has not changed is that charitable giving is still a powerful way to make a difference, leave a legacy, and make the most of tax-planning.
