CASE invites you to join CASE and other charitable organizations the Grow Giving Now Fly-In, Nov. 15-16, in Washington, D.C. During the Fly-In charitable leaders from around the country will visit with lawmakers to urge them to renew and expand the non-itemizer charitable deduction in year-end tax legislation. This event is hosted by the Charitable Giving Coalition.

In 2020, Congress enacted a temporary non-itemizer, or universal, charitable deduction into law. The proposal allowed American taxpayers who do not itemize their tax returns to deduct up to $300 in charitable donations ($600 for joint filers). The proposal expired on Dec. 31, 2021. CASE has been working with the CGC to urge Congress to renew and expand the non-itemizer deduction as a way to encourage all Americans to give more to educational institutions and other charitable organizations.

Registration for the Fly-In is free, though participants are responsible for their own travel and hotel if needed.  If you have any questions, contact Brian Flahaven at flahaven@case.org.

The Charitable Giving Coalition is a broad and diverse coalition of charitable organizations dedicated to preserving and expanding the charitable deduction. CASE is a founding member of the coalition, which includes United Way Worldwide, American Red Cross, Independent Sector, Goodwill Industries, National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), and many more organizations. Brian Flahaven, CASE’s Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, currently serves as chair of the coalition.
