What it does

Donations to recognised public-utility entities generate a 25% IRS credit, capped at 15% of the IRS collection amount.

When this saves money

Whenever you support eligible charities, museums, universities, or public-interest foundations — the donation effectively costs you 75% of the gross amount.
