To ensure your tax-deductible donation is counted in 2025, here are helpful links and resources:
- Use this link by December 31st to give securely online via credit/debit card or direct debit.
- If you are sending a check by mail (or a financial institution is sending a check on your behalf), the envelope must be postmarked by December 31st. At this time of the year, the USPS suggests you have your envelope hand-stamped at dropoff.
- If you are transferring stock, here are the instructions. Please check with your broker for their deadline for requesting year-end transfers, as many institutions have a mid-December deadline for such requests.
- If you’re age 70½ or older and have requested a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA custodian, the funds must leave your IRA and clear the account by December 31 to qualify for the 2025 tax year.
For urgent matters, please contact Director of Advancement Services Amanda Porter at 614-509-2276 or portera@columbusacademy.org.
