IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR YEAR-END DONORS!

Starting December 24, 2025, the U.S. Postal Service is changing how mail is postmarked. Under the new rules, mail won’t necessarily receive a postmark on the day it’s dropped in a mailbox — it may not be postmarked until it reaches a regional processing center.

That means if you drop a charitable gift in the mail on Dec. 31, it might be postmarked in January — and you may not be able to claim it on your 2025 taxes.

To ensure your gift counts for 2025:
- Ask for a manual postmark at your post office counter.
- Use Certified/Registered Mail or a Certificate of Mailing.
- Give online or deliver your check directly to the nonprofit of your choice.

Thank you for your support — and for making every gift count!

NONPROFITS help spread the word!!
