Help us end the year on the strongest note possible.

 2020 Donors Take Note! No matter how you file, the CARES Act seeks to optimize charitable giving.  Please consult your tax preparer or the IRS CARES page regarding stock gifts or noncash giving deductions. 
 
Do You itemize? 
The adjusted gross income (AGI) limit for cash contributions was increased for individual donors. For cash contributions made in 2020, you can now elect to deduct up to 100 percent of your AGI (increased from 60 percent). 
Not itemizing? 
The CARES Act allows for an additional, “above-the-line” deduction for charitable gifts made in cash of up to $300. If you are not itemizing on your 2020 taxes, you can claim this new deduction. 
Corporate Givers 
The AGI limit for cash contributions was also increased for corporate donors. Corporations can now deduct up to 25 percent of taxable income (increased from 10 percent). 

There are several ways to give to the Queen Anne Helpline. We are always grateful for the amazing support of our entire community.
