We know that your generosity is rooted in your faith, values, and desire to help people move closer to Jesus. But, if you are also thinking about charitable planning, some important new tax rules taking effect in 2026 are worth knowing about.
You can learn more about these special opportunities in our free brochure, Wise Giving in a New Tax Landscape, and other complimentary planning resources. These resources are just a click away!
An Important New Charitable Deduction for Non-Itemizers in 2026
People who do not itemize deductions can now receive a tax benefit for giving.
- Up to $1,000 deduction for individuals
- Up to $2,000 deduction for married couples filing jointly
- Applies only to cash gifts—cash or credit card—to qualified charities, like K-LOVE
- Does not apply to gifts to donor-advised funds or private foundations
Why it matters: Since most Americans now take the standard deduction, this change opens the door for many more households to receive a tax benefit when they give.
Other New Tax Rules to Consider:
- For donors who itemize deductions, charitable deductions only apply to donations above 0.5% of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).
- For taxpayers in the top tax bracket (37%), the value of charitable deductions is reduced to 35¢ per dollar donated.
- For gifts of $250 or more, you will need a timely written acknowledgement from the charity stating what was donated and confirming no goods or services were received in return — the same receipt K-LOVE already provides.
Our team is here as a charitable planning resource, but we always encourage you to consult with your own legal and financial advisors first.
