Thank you for considering a gift to Collegiate School!
Please note that the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act has introduced new opportunities for charitable contributions to nonprofit institutions. The CARES rule allows donors who itemize deductions to deduct 100% of cash charitable gifts in 2020 (up to the full amount of your 2020 adjusted gross income). For individuals who take the standard deduction (rather than itemizing), the bill makes a new deduction available as well; up to $300 in annual charitable contributions (cash or stock) may be directly subtracted from your gross income.
As always, we remind you to please check this information with your financial professional.
