Many are wondering “How can I help support the larger fight against COVID-19?” The CARES Act provides tax incentives for donors to support charitable organizations. One of many new incentives allows taxpayers who claim the standard deduction to deduct up to $300 for charitable gifts in 2020. Some local organizations need volunteers to help serve community members, while others may face financial uncertainty during this crisis. Be a Prairie Star and support the UIS community.
