Help Lynchburg's Youth Accrue Tax Benefits
The CARES Act's Charitable Giving Provisions
Universal Charitable Deduction
- The CARES package includes a temporary universal charitable deduction. This deduction will allow all taxpayers to claim an above-the-line charitable deduction for cash donations up to $300 through December 31. Donations to donor-advised funds and supporting organizations are not eligible for this deduction.
Adjusted Gross Income Limitation
- The law also lifts the cap on annual deductions for cash contributions for those who itemize, raising the cap from 60 percent to 100 percent of adjusted gross income—the cap for corporations.
What this Means for You
- Kids need your help now more than ever. For many, childhood has been suspended. The Club is a source of stability, consistency, and fun for kids and teens. We are providing meals, virtual homework help, mentorship, academic enrichment activities and the chance to (virtually) have fun with friends and trusted mentors.
- Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lynchburg is open and serving the youth of essential care workers and regular Club Members.
Your gift helps us maintain and grow these programs, and with these new tax incentives, there has never been a better time to support the Club.
