As the new year approached, many individuals looked for opportunities to maximize their tax deductions while also supporting causes close to their hearts. One effective strategy that has gained popularity in recent years is known as “bunching” charitable donations in a donor-advised fund (DAF). This strategy allows donors to make larger contributions in certain years, claiming a higher tax deduction, while still being able to support their favorite charitable organizations over time.
Traditional giving patterns often involve making smaller charitable donations on an annual basis. However, the IRS’s standard deduction cap may make it more difficult for people to itemize their deductions, which could result in lost chances to receive tax advantages. Bunching donations is a way to overcome this limitation by making larger gifts in certain years, surpassing the standard deduction threshold, and generating tax advantages.
By donating a substantial amount in a specific year, donors can itemize their deductions, thus reducing their taxable income for that year. Furthermore, by contributing these funds to a donor-advised fund, individuals can benefit from additional tax advantages and distribute the donated amount to charitable organizations over time.
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle that allows donors to make tax-deductible donations to a fund managed by a public charity. Donated assets can be invested and grown tax-free within the DAF, giving donors the flexibility to give these funds to charitable organizations of their choice at their discretion.
By utilizing the bunching strategy and collaborating with Crewe Foundation Services, individuals can make a meaningful difference in their communities while experiencing the financial advantages that come with tax deductions.
