Effective January 1, 2026, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act fundamentally restructured the charitable deduction. Individual itemizers now lose the first 0.5% of AGI before any deduction; corporations lose the first 1% of taxable income; top-bracket donors are capped at a 35% effective deduction rate; and the 86% of taxpayers who do not itemize finally have an above-the-line deduction of up to $1,000 ($2,000 joint). EY projects $4.4-4.8B in annual corporate giving losses. Fundraisers who do not segment their donor communications by floor exposure this year will lose six-figure gifts to timing arbitrage.
