How does the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) impact donations to Discovery Place?
If you take the standard deduction: As of 2026, you can deduct up to $1,000 in charitable gifts as an individual—or $2,000 as a household—even if you don’t itemize your taxes.
If you itemize your deductions, smaller gifts may not count toward a deduction until your annual giving clears 0.5% of Adjusted Gross Income. In practice, making fewer, more intentional gifts in a single year (“bunching” your giving) can be more advantageous than lots of smaller donations under the new rules.
What’s the easiest way to maximize my standard deduction?
By becoming a Monthly Sustainer! When you sign up for easy, automatic payments of $84/month ($1,000/year) if filing single or $167/month ($2,000/year) if filing jointly, you can maximize your standard deductible by breaking it up in more manageable amounts throughout the year.
