After years of declining donor participation, a new federal tax provision could help nonprofits reignite support from everyday givers. Starting in 2026, even non-itemizers can claim a modest charitable deduction ($1,000 for individuals, $2,000 for couples) signaling renewed recognition of smaller gifts. As Howard Husock argues, this shift isn't just financial; it's philosophical, affirming that generosity isn’t reserved for the wealthy. Nonprofits now have a strategic opportunity to re-engage the middle and rebuild a more inclusive culture of giving.
