Illinois Gives Tax Credit Act

The Illinois Gives Tax Credit Act is an innovative program designed to benefit both donors and charitable causes across Illinois. Beginning in 2025, Illinois taxpayers are eligible for a 25% tax credit on contributions made to Community Foundation endowment funds, supporting long-term charitable initiatives throughout the state. Donations may be directed toward establishing a new endowment or enhancing an existing one, helping to create a permanent impact for Illinois communities while providing meaningful incentives for philanthropic giving.
