Maximum tax savings
You may deduct the full amount of your donation up to 50% of your adjusted gross income, providing tax savings if you itemize. You may carry forward all of your unused deduction for up to five additional years.

Example
Cassandra Collins would like to make an immediate $15,000 gift to St. Anthony Shrine. Cassandra could write a check for this amount and earn a charitable deduction equal to $15,000. Alternatively, Cassandra could make a gift using her credit card by calling us on the phone, responding to a mailing, or by donating online through our website. Gifts of checks and gifts made via credit cards are considered cash gifts.
Benefits
- Cassandra may deduct up to 50% of her adjusted gross income for her gift of cash, providing tax savings if she itemizes.
- If Cassandra itemizes deductions but cannot use the entire deduction in the year of gift, she may carry the balance forward for up to five additional years.
