If you take the standard deduction on your 2020 tax return (the one that you’ll file in 2021), you can claim a brand new “above-the-line” deduction of up to $300 for cash donations to charity you make this year. Donations to donor advised funds and certain organizations that support charities are not deductible. Normally, you have to itemize on Schedule A to get a tax break for charitable donations. In this case, though, it’s the other way around—if you itemize, you can’t take this new deduction. Source
Let’s build inclusive communities…
At Disability Network Lakeshore, we know that you want to be a confident participant who contributes and belongs to your community — in whatever way you choose.
You deserve an inclusive community. But our world still isn’t fully accessible to people with disabilities. So until attitudes and environments change, you need the right tools and supports to thrive in an imperfect world.
It’s hard to know about or access all of the disability resources available to you. Navigating the maze of resources and authorizations can make you feel frustrated and discouraged.
We understand how frustrating it is to fully participate in an inaccessible community. That is why we help people access disability resources.
We have created custom plans for thousands of people. We’ve also helped hundreds of companies figure out ways to be more inclusive.
Here’s how you can get the resources you need:
- Contact: Contact our office and tell us what you’re trying to accomplish.
- Connect: We evaluate the obstacles you’re facing and connect you with the right tools.
- Contribute: You use those tools to participate, contribute, or belong to your community.
It all starts with an easy phone call or email to a caring expert.
The world isn’t yet fully accessible. We still have attitudes and environments that need to change. Until then, invite Disability Network Lakeshore to come alongside you. With the right disability resources, you can participate, contribute, and belong.
