Warm/professional excerpt: As the year comes to a close, many donors are revisiting what qualifies as a tax-deductible gift. The Kitsap Community Foundation can help you navigate the distinctions between nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations so your giving is both effective and aligned with your goals. Whether or not your contributions qualify for a deduction, what matters most is the good they do in our community.

Across our region, families are feeling the impact of economic uncertainty and other disruptions. Kitsap Community Foundation can help you align your charitable giving to meet urgent needs and create lasting change—right here in our community.

As year-end approaches, it’s more important than ever for nonprofits to strengthen their outreach. Fewer households are giving—but those who do are giving more strategically. By sharing your impact and inviting donors into your mission, you can inspire meaningful support that sustains your work and our community for the long term.

Donors aged 70½ or older can make Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) directly from their IRAs to qualified charities—up to $108,000 in 2025—without raising taxable income. By understanding how QCDs work, your nonprofit can guide donors toward tax-smart giving that strengthens both their financial goals and your organization’s mission. The Kitsap Community Foundation team is here to help you navigate and promote this impactful opportunity.

As 2025 draws to a close, it’s a good time to take stock of your charitable giving strategy. Recent state and federal tax changes may have important implications for your philanthropy and estate plans. Our team at Kitsap Community Foundation is here to collaborate with you and your professional advisors to ensure your charitable giving remains thoughtful, tax-wise, and aligned with your goals for impact.

In today’s changing economy and tax landscape, thoughtful planning is essential for effective charitable giving. Whether you’re addressing year-end strategies, considering a complex asset gift, or updating your estate plan, Kitsap Community Foundation offers flexible tools and trusted guidance to help you achieve both financial and philanthropic goals.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act left Qualified Charitable Distributions largely untouched, but their value for clients is greater than ever. For individuals 70½ and older, QCDs remain a straightforward way to give, lowering taxable income while supporting the causes they care about. As new deduction rules take effect in 2026, QCDs will be an important strategy to help clients align tax efficiency with meaningful charitable impact.

With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, charitable planning has entered a new era. Key changes include a floor and cap on itemized deductions beginning in 2026, as well as an elevated standard deduction in 2025. Advisors should encourage clients to act now on strategies such as bunching gifts, donating appreciated stock, and utilizing IRA distributions—while keeping an eye on the inevitability of future tax reforms.
