Big changes to charitable tax benefits are coming in 2026. A gift this year—especially through a donor-advised fund—can go further for you and the causes you love.When you give to charity, you’re not just changing lives—you may also receive a tax benefit. But starting in 2026, new federal rules will make it harder for many households to deduct their charitable giving. That’s why 2025 is a unique, time-sensitive opportunity to be generous and strategic, and as the end of the year approaches, it is important for you to keep your donor-advised fund (DAF) and/or Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) in mind.
