What difference does tax deductibility make?

Donations of $2 or more to campaigns on the ASF platform are tax deductible, which can significantly reduce the effective cost of supporting a campaign on our platform. The reduction depends on the donor’s tax rate, typically ranging from 16% to 45%.

This tax benefit can also encourage supporters to donate more, knowing they’ll receive a financial incentive in the future.

Example: If a donor contributes $1,000 to your project, and they are on the top income tax rate (45%), they’ll receive a tax refund of $450. This means the actual cost of their donation is only $550.
