Did you know one aspect of the CARES Act includes charitable giving incentives?
To bolster charitable giving in a time of economic downturn, a $300 above the line tax deduction for charitable giving, is eligible to both itemizers and non-itemizers alike. The CARES Act also raises itemized charitable contribution deduction limits for individuals who itemize their deductions and claim the charitable contribution deduction. The recently enacted Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2021 further extends this benefit permitting a charitable deduction of up to $600 on 2021 federal income tax returns for couples filing jointly.

EMPOWERING YOU
In response to our community’s giving preferences, the Annual Campaign has transitioned to a donor-centric campaign. This empowers YOU to choose how you would like to be solicited, make your gift, and be recognized.
Donors may give their annual gift as an individual or jointly as a household. Your total campaign gift, whether it be an individual or household donation, qualifies for one of the campaign giving levels.

JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES
There are many ways to contribute to Jewish Family Services—with your time, your willingness to volunteer, or your dollars. Monetary donations can be made to any of the following funds in honor of an individual’s birthday, anniversary, or other special event and will be acknowledged.
Food Pantry Donations: The David D. Fraizer Food Pantry at Jewish Family Services serves the entire community of Greensboro. Donations of food and food gift cards are always appreciated. To use the food pantry, contact (336) 852-4829 x222.
Good Will Donations: Clothing and small household items can be dropped off at JFS for our Goodwill bins. Goodwill regularly collects these items and issues vouchers to JFS which then distributes them to members of our community to use as cash to shop at Good Will. Receipts for tax purposes are issued. Call (336) 852-4829 x222 to arrange for donation drop off at JFS or contact Betsy Gamburg, (336) 852-4829 x225 if you need vouchers for shopping.

Van Donation Fund: The JFS Van is a familiar sight in the community as it transports our seniors or disabled adults to doctor appointments, shopping trips, religious services and to social and educational programs. While there is a charge for the van, contributions help us keep the van running. If you need to schedule a van ride, call (336) 852-4829 x222.
Indigent Burial Fund: The Greensboro community created an indigent burial fund to fulfill the mitzvah of assuring every Jew a dignified funeral. This is one of the highest forms of tzedakah. Call (336) 852-4829 x222 to make a donation or Betsy Gamburg (336) 852-4829 x225, if you know someone who has no family and needs this assistance.
Phyllis K. Jerome Fund for Children and Families: Established to assist children and families in extraordinary circumstance, a gift to this fund is always meaningful. Contact Betsy Gamburg (336) 852-4829 x225 if there is a critical unmet health need in your family.
