If you want to help Maryville today and receive the maximum charitable income tax deduction, you may want to consider making a gift by cash or check to support the work of Maryville.
How It Works
1. You make a gift by cash or check to Maryville.
2. We use your gift for the charitable purposes that you designate.
3. You receive a charitable income tax deduction.
How You Benefit
When you make a gift to Maryville by check, you can deduct the full amount of your gift up to 50% of your adjusted gross income. If you were to make the same gift using another assets, you might only be able to deduct the full amount of your gift up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. You can also deduct the excess deduction amount over the next five tax years.
Example
Gift by Cash or Check to Maryville $10,000
Charitable Deduction @ 35% tax rate $ 3,500
Net Cost of Gift to Donor $ 4,500
