Charitable Donation Tax Deadlines for 2023 (US Taxpayers)

If tax-deductibility in 2023 is important to you, we encourage you to make any planned donations well in advance of these deadlines. Our experience is that delays can occur with any payment method, most notably when working with a bank, broker, or other third party to initiate a transaction. Be sure to consider holidays and weekends when submitting your end-of-year gift to ensure adequate processing time.

This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute tax, legal, or financial advice. We recommend speaking to your tax accountant, lawyer, or financial advisor for specific tax, legal, or financial advice for your situation.
