Non-Profit Donations According To The IRS

Did you know if you donate money to Foster Care for Children and Youth, then you can write the non-profit donation as a tax deduction for a charitable contribution? The national U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has specific distinctions for qualifiable donations and a certain process to follow for donating and claiming those donations on your tax return. Here is a simple breakdown of the IRS requirements for non-profit donations in Pennsylvania and the rest of the nation.

There are a few rules and regulations to follow to ensure your non-profit donation qualifies as a charitable tax donation by the IRS.

Contribution Timing

Pay in cash or by another property before the close of the current tax year. Whether you use the cash or accrual method, any donation you are claiming must be paid in time for the close of the tax year.

Deductible Amount

If you would like to donate something other than cash to FCCY, you must note the fair market value of the property. You may then deduct that value. Sometimes, however, appreciation occurs for property values; at that time, you may adjust your donation value.

Deduction Limitations

Limited deductions are in place if you are donating up to 50% of your gross income or as much as 30% for donations to a private organization. Foster Care for Children and Youth is a private organization.

We are very thankful to our gracious donors. Without them, our non-profit organization would not be able to sustain our care for foster children.

"THEY CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND ARE VERY THOROUGH"

My husband and I always tell people that talk to us about wanting to foster or adopt about our agency. We enjoy working with this agency because the staff not only care about the careful placement of a child but also about us as a family. Our agency is available and quick to respond to us whether we have an emergency or just a question. They care about the children and are very thorough to ensure the children and the foster family are getting what they need.

"WE ENJOY GIVING BACK"

Fostering is very positive experience not only for ourselves but also for the child’s well-being. We enjoy giving back. Providing a loving, nurturing home to a child gives the child an opportunity to have a normal childhood as possible.

"WE WOULD RECOMMEND FCCY"

Picking FCCY to work with has been the best thing my husband and I could have done. We have had only positive experiences with this agency. The case managers are so good and give you total support as a foster parent. We would recommend FCCY to others looking into foster care.
