A New Tax Incentive Makes Giving to the Columbus Bar Foundation More Impactful Than Ever

Starting in 2026, a new federal charitable deduction will allow taxpayers who do not itemize to deduct up to $1,000 (single filers) or $2,000 (joint filers) in charitable contributions directly on their tax return. This important change expands the tax benefit of giving to millions of Americans and creates a powerful opportunity to make a difference through charitable support.

There has truly never been a better time to support the Columbus Bar Foundation. With this expanded deduction, your gift can go further while supporting the Foundation’s vital work advancing access to justice, supporting legal education, and strengthening our community.

Now is the moment to consider how your generosity, whether large or small can have meaningful impact while also providing potential tax benefits. We encourage you to learn more about how these changes affect charitable giving and to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in the mission of the Columbus Bar Foundation.
