Giving to NNU during Giving Days may come with added financial benefits that help maximize your impact.

Beginning in 2026, the Universal Charitable Deduction (UCD) allows donors who take the standard deduction to deduct up to $1,000 in charitable gifts ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly) on their federal taxes.

Idaho donors may also qualify for the Idaho Educational Tax Credit, which provides a state tax credit equal to 50% of your gift, even if you do not itemize deductions.

In addition, many employers offer matching gift programs that can double or even triple your donation at no additional cost.

Together, these benefits can significantly reduce the out‑of‑pocket cost of your Giving Days gift while increasing support for NNU students.
