President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” added billions of dollars in tax alternatives, some of which may have an impact on your deduction for charitable donations.
Individuals in the United States reached $ 392.45 billion in 2024, up approximately 5%, including inflation, compared to the previous year, according to the United States annual report published in June.
But as the calendar ends, your end -of -year donation strategy for 2025 would seem different from that of previous years, according to financial experts.

During the planning of charitable donations, investors should consider a “multi -year approach”, in particular after the latest modifications of the tax law, according to Dianne Mehany, who runs the National Tax Group for Ey Private in Washington, DC
Here is a ventilation of some of the key changes – and how they could have an impact on your end -of -year donations.
This is a “non-certification” for small gifts
During the tax deposit, you say that the largest of your detailed tax reductions or the standard deduction. For 2025, the standard deduction is now $ 15,750 for single declarants and $ 31,500 for married couples jointly.
But 90% of declarants do not detail, according to the latest IRS data, which prevents most of the declarants from demanding the charity.
This will soon change thanks to Trump’s law. From 2026, there is a new charity fiscal reduction for non-elements, of a value of up to $ 1,000 for single declarants and $ 2,000 for married couples jointly.
With the change that occurs in 2026, it could be logical to delay the smaller end -of -year gifts if you do not generally detail deductions, according to experts.
“It seems that it seems to do so in January and capture a little advantages that you do not reach otherwise, previously said the certified financial planner Edward Jastrem, director of heritage planning services in Westwood, Massachusetts, previously told CNBC.
There is a “double blow” for the best rooms
Trump legislation could also reduce charity deduction for certain higher employees in 2026, according to experts.
From 2026, there is a detailed “floor” deduction deduction, which only authorizes tax relief once it exceeds 0.5% of your gross adjusted income. In addition, the new law concerns the advantages of declarants in the 37%income tax tranche, from 2026.
“You essentially reduce your advantage to 35%instead of 37%”, which “looks like a double blow”, when combined with the 0.5%deduction floor, said Mehany d’Ey.
With charitable deduction discounts for 2026, “there is an advantage to accelerate (donations) this year,” said Sheneya Wilson, certified accountant Sheneya Wilson, founder and CEO of Fola Financial in New York.
An option for Frontload gifts in 2025 could be to use a so-called donors’ influence, which works as a charity checkbook.
You receive an initial charitable deduction on the assets transferred by “grouping” several years of gifts in a single year. Then you can invest and potentially increase balance while choosing grants for public charities later.
