It’s time… to give! 🎁 Now is the perfect time to end the year with impact.
Pledge makes donating easy for everyone - from choosing how to donate, to enjoying tax benefits. We’re here to help you navigate your giving options and find what works best for you.
Whether you’re fundraising or making a donation through Pledge, you benefit by having access to more giving options than any other platform, including Venmo, PayPal, ApplePay, GooglePay, Card, and Bank to non-cash assets like Stock and Crypto, which are all popular options this time of year for good reason.
Donating with Added Tax Benefits 🌟
For donations to be considered tax-deductible on your 2023 tax return, you must donate before midnight on December 31, 2023. We invite you to explore your giving options and increase your giving power this month with Pledge!
Your year-end donations offer a win-win situation for the nonprofits you’re supporting and for you by reducing your taxable income. Donations during this crucial time help nonprofits meet their annual goals and achieve their mission, making a significant impact on their programs as they transition into the new year.
Let’s explore some of the most beneficial ways that you can make your year-end donations through Pledge:
Stock Donations 📈
Did you know that appreciated stock represents $100 billion in potential funding for nonprofits? Stock is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give.
When you donate stock that has appreciated for more than one year, you are actually giving 20% more than if you sold the stock and then made a cash donation because you’re avoiding capital gains taxes. Imagine that… 20% more impact! It’s one of the most tax-smart ways to give.
And we’ve got a gift for you! 💝
Our partner DonateStock is matching up to $25,000 in stock gifts made via Pledge through December 31st. Through our partnership, you can now donate stock to any nonprofit in our database. We’ve made the process hassle-free for you and the nonprofits that you choose to support. Donate stock today through Pledge to your favorite nonprofit, enjoy tax benefits, and 2X your impact!
