One Big Beautiful Bill—Get a Head Start

Description

A Monumental Shift Is Coming—Are You Ready?

Signed into law on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is the most sweeping tax legislation to hit nonprofits, donors, and educational institutions in decades. While Treasury guidance is still pending, one thing is clear: if you fundraise, manage donor relationships, or report to a board—you need to get ahead of this now.

From a new above-the-line deduction for small donors to an 8 % tax on elite university endowments, from AGI floors for wealthy givers to a $1,700 scholarship credit—this bill reshuffles the entire giving landscape. Some organizations will win big. Others could lose millions.
