Here are some reminders to sure that your gifts are recognized for the 2025 tax year:
ADD TO AN EXISTING FUND
To learn more about the various assets you can give, review our guide to Contributing to a fund. In order for charitable gifts into a fund to qualify for a charitable income tax deduction in the 2025 tax year, don’t forget:
- Checks sent via the U.S. Postal Service to any Community Foundation office must be postmarked by December 31.
- Credit card gifts can be made online until 11:59 pm December 31.
- Gifts of assets sent via other means must be physically received on or before December 31.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
Donor advised fundholders may wish to recommend grants to support nonprofit year-end campaigns, provide holiday contributions or make honorariums as gifts.
GRANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Grant recommendations can be made online through our secure donor portal or by contacting us.
Please note that the
timing of donor advised grants has no effect on your 2025 charitable income tax
donations since the tax acknowledgement is given when you contribute to your
fund.
