Make Your Gift Go Further in 2025

The countdown is on! As 2025 winds down, we have some good news (and some “better-give-now” news) about charitable giving.
Thanks to recent changes in federal tax law, the rules are shifting in 2026, which means your generosity this year could pack an even bigger punch.
Here’s the scoop on why 2025 is the year to give:
Why Giving Now is Smart
- Top earners save more this year: In 2025, high-income donors still get a 37% tax benefit per dollar given. Starting in 2026, it drops to 35%. Translation? Giving now = more savings.
- No itemizer roadblocks (yet!): Beginning in 2026, you’ll need to donate at least 0.5% of your income before your charitable gifts even qualify for a deduction. Right now, every gift counts toward your tax benefit.
- Non-cash gifts are golden: Donating appreciated stock, real estate, or even giving directly from your IRA (if you’re 70½+) can help you avoid taxes and make a bigger impact than cash alone.
- Bundle for big benefits: If you’re planning to support Mind & Spirit Counseling Center for years to come, consider “bundling” several years’ worth of gifts into 2025. More impact for us, more savings for you.
Corporate Giving Gets a Boost
Starting in 2026, corporations will need to give at least 1% of their taxable income to keep their deductions. That means 2025 is the perfect time to build new partnerships — or, if you own a business, to show your team and community that mental health matters!
Your Gift = Hope and Healing
Every gift to Mind & Spirit Counseling Center makes counseling accessible to someone who needs it most. From families navigating grief, to teens battling anxiety, to individuals searching for spiritual strength — regardless of financial circumstances.
This year, your gift goes even further for you and for the community!
So don’t wait: make your gift by December 31, 2025 and help us close the year strong.
