Become A Philanthropist™

Free Tax Education & Financial Literacy Initiative

We help nonprofits, churches, and community centers turn donors into strategic philanthropists — so they can give more, more often, and build legacy while doing it.

What if giving came first… not last?

Most donors give

After taxes. After expenses. After everything else.

The result

Smaller gifts. Irregular giving. Missed opportunity.

The shift

Giving as a first-position strategy — not a leftover decision.

Charitable Tax Deduction: 100 Years & Counting

This isn't a loophole. It's a law designed to fund society directly — and it's been in place since 1917.

Senator Henry Hollis — Charitable Tax Deduction 1917
Sen. Henry Hollis, 1917 — War Revenue Bill
"People generally contribute to charity after all other expenses — living, education, health, investing, kids, etc. — hence, that's the first place people cut back during tough times."

What if we encourage them to directly fund public & humanitarian causes so they get a "charitable tax benefit"?

This reduces the burden on the government and a greater percentage of donations would reach the intended cause or person — versus going through the government's bureaucratic process.

The system was designed for this

The tax system actively encourages giving. Most donors never learn how to use it.

The Current Model
IncomeTaxesExpensesDonations

Giving is the last decision. Taxes are already paid. Impact is minimized.

The Strategic Shift
IncomeGivingTaxesInvestingLegacy

Giving is a first-position strategy. Deductions reduce tax burden. Impact multiplies.

IRS Fact: Donations can be deducted up to 60% of AGI for public charities and ~30% for structured giving vehicles.

What donors don't see

The visible tax is just the tip. The real burden is hidden below the surface.

Tax Iceberg: Taxes While Alive and Taxes at Death
Taxes While You Are Alive
Income Tax10–37%+
Capital Gains Tax~20%
Gift TaxUp to 40%
Taxes at Death
Estate TaxesUp to 40%
Probate & Legal3–10%
Inheritance Tax3–18%
Step-Up Basis ImpactVaries
Most of this can be planned for — but usually isn't. Strategic giving addresses taxes both while alive and at death, creating a comprehensive legacy plan.

The Opportunity

Your donors are not short on generosity. They are short on strategy.

Turning Income, Assets, and Taxes into Impact Investments, Grants, and Donations

"This is what billionaires already do — foundations, structured giving, planned allocation. Most donors never learn this."

A Philosophy That Changed the World

Strategic philanthropy isn't new. The wealthiest people in history built it into their lives.

Andrew Carnegie — The Gospel of Wealth
Andrew Carnegie
Gave away 90% of his fortune
→ Built 2,509 libraries worldwide
John D. Rockefeller
Structured giving from age 16
→ Founded University of Chicago
Bill & Melinda Gates
Pledged 99% of wealth
→ Eradicated diseases globally

Even in Scriptures…

Every major faith tradition teaches the principle of strategic, intentional giving.

Scripture quotes on giving — Bhagavad-gita, Quran, Bible
Proverbs 11:24

"One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty."

Surah Al-Baqarah 2:274

"Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly — their reward is with their Lord."

1 Timothy 6:17-19

"They are to do good, to be rich in good deeds, liberal and generous, thus laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future."
