Ad Space

Bunching Defined

Concentrate 2-3 years of charitable giving into single tax year. Push you over standard deduction. Itemize that year. Take standard deduction in zero-giving years.

Why It Works Now

TCJA + OBBB doubled standard deduction. Many no longer benefit from charitable giving annually. Bunching restores the tax benefit.

Donor-Advised Funds

Open DAF (Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard). Contribute lump sum (gets immediate deduction). Distribute to charities over many years. Decouples deduction year from giving year.

Appreciated Securities

Donate stock that's appreciated to DAF/charity. Deduct fair market value. Skip capital gains tax. Triple benefit.
