- Donations given through donor-advised funds are not eligible for tax credits (i.e. Schwab Charitable Fund)
- Tax credits are available on qualifying donations made through 3/31/2027.
- Eligible donations may be redeemed when you file your tax return.
- Any remaining tax credit balance can be used during the next five years.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Make your contribution of $1,000 or more to PreventEd. Be sure to indicate your desire to apply for tax credits on your donation (check or online from memo line). We will send you an acknowledgment and brief instructions on how to fill out the tax credit application.
