Great News for Charitable Giving!

Beginning in 2026, most taxpayers, even those who take the standard deduction, will be able to deduct up to $1,000 (individuals) or $2,000 (married couples) in cash gifts to nonprofits. This expanded universal charitable deduction means more people will receive a real tax benefit when they give, which helps strengthen the work of organizations in our community, like the Chehalem Cultural Center. We encourage you to consult your tax advisor regarding how this may apply to your situation.

Chehalem Cultural Center is also an Oregon Cultural Trust partner, which means, if you donate to the CCC this year (or any arts, heritage or humanities nonprofits in Oregon) you are eligible to direct a greater portion of your taxes — taxes you’re going to pay anyway — to support cultural projects in the state with the Cultural Tax Credit.
