Tax deductions and lowered tax liability

Individuals who itemize deductions on their taxes may be eligible to claim a charitable contribution deduction against their taxable income after making a year-end gift to a qualifying charitable organization like St. Jude.

In addition, by lowering an individual’s taxable income, these types of donations can also lower the amount of tax owed by the donor, reducing their tax liability.
