How does it work?

Gifts of cash provide you with the maximum allowable charitable deduction – more than gifts made using assets other than cash.  The IRS allows you to claim a charitable deduction for gifts of cash up to 50% of your adjusted gross income each year.

Gifts made using checks and credit cards are considered gifts of cash and receive the same tax benefit.
