This year the U.S. federal tax code has gotten a little kinder for those who make charitable donations. Individuals can claim a $300 "above the line" deduction from their U.S. taxes, while couples filing jointly can deduct $600.
That means if you don’t usually itemize on your taxes, you can still deduct cash you contribute to nonprofit newsrooms this year. There was a smaller version of this provision for tax year 2020 — this is a new and expanded version for 2021, that was enacted in the end-of-year COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress in December.
Please help National Parks Traveler help you this year and consider taking advantage of this new tax provision by becoming a recurring contributor. Your valued recurring gift will help us keep telling the stories that matter to you.
Building ongoing community support for our coverage of national parks and protected areas is key to expanding that coverage. We are not backed by a large (or even a small) corporation, have no multi-year grants from foundations, and are not a government-supported operation. The bulk of our support comes in the form of $25 and $50 donations.
Signing up for monthly donations is a great way to support Traveler a little bit at a time. Traveler is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit media organization, so your support might be tax-deductible.
