A small change in tax law could have a big impact on our nonprofit community.

A recent LinkedIn post by Christina Gorczynski https://lnkd.in/e5TPKvTr
got me thinking about how this could benefit the nonprofits and communities we serve.

Starting in 2026, individuals who take the standard deduction can deduct up to $1,000 in qualifying cash charitable contributions, or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.

As a CPA working with nonprofits, businesses, and individuals, I’m excited about the opportunities this presents.

I've shared a few thoughts on what this means for nonprofits, individual donors, and business owners.

Nonprofits do incredible work, often with limited resources. This change gives us another reason to talk about charitable giving and the difference our contributions can make.

While tax savings are great, the real value lies in the impact we can achieve together.

fun challenge!!

Here's the prompt: Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a glamorous cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo. The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character. Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide. (I did modify a bit by adding my "actual" mascot Huckleberry)
