-
Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
You’ll receive a tax receipt from Benevity which you can use when filing your taxes.
-
If your company allows payroll giving through Benevity:
Donations are taken directly from your paycheck, and can reduce your taxable income.
You may not need a separate receipt at tax time — your pay stub or annual payroll summary might be enough.
-
When your employer matches your donation (e.g., you give $50, they give $50):
You only claim your portion ($50 in this example) for tax purposes.
The matched amount is not considered part of your income, so there’s no tax owed on it, but also no deduction.
-
If you volunteer and your company donates money to the Cauldron on your behalf (e.g., $10 per hour volunteered):
You do not claim this as a deduction, because it's not your personal donation. However, it's a great way to support the nonprofit without a financial cost to you.
