WASHINGTON, DC – The Charitable Giving Coalition (CGC)—an alliance of more than 175 nonprofit and faith-based organizations—issued the following statement ahead of President Trump signing into law the reconciliation bill that restores a key incentive allowing every American to give: a permanent, above-the-line charitable deduction for taxpayers who do not itemize.
“Congress and President Trump have fully restored and locked into place an expanded charitable deduction for non-itemizers, a provision that ensures all Americans will have an incentive to give more to charities and their communities. Although our work is not done, today marks a remarkable step forward for promoting policies that encourage all Americans to give generously,” said Brian Flahaven, chairman of the Charitable Giving Coalition.
Included in the reconciliation tax package, the provision would allow individuals to deduct up to $1,000 and married couples up to $2,000 of their charitable gifts each year, regardless of whether they itemize their returns.
The Coalition thanks its bipartisan champions of the Charitable Act (S. 317/H.R. 801) for their commitment to expanding charitable giving, including Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Coons (D-DE) and Representatives Blake Moore (R-UT), Danny Davis (D-IL), Carol Miller (R-WV), and Chris Pappas (D-NH).
