Take Advantage of New Charitable Tax Deduction on Giving Tuesday Now!

You may have heard about the upcoming online event - #GivingTuesdayNow - meant to support nonprofits in these tough economic times. 

But did you know that the recent stimulus bill passed by Congress to address the economic impact of Covid-19 added a tax break to incentivize charitable contributions? 

A new above-the-line charitable deduction was included in the bill which allows taxpayers, who file using the standard deduction, to also deduct up to $300 in cash contributions made to nonprofit charities.

Here’s a recent Forbes article with more details and context.

So, if you are able, save some money on your taxes AND do something great for the SCI Community!

Make a contribution for the upcoming #GivingTuesdayNow event (Tuesday, May 5th), consider joining Unite 2 Fight Paralysis as a Fuel the Journey monthly donor or a make one-time donation.
