Ways to Give

The Preservation Society of Charleston relies on the support of our members.

Joining the PSC is the best way to support our work.

Each contribution helps carry our mission across the Lowcountry.

Benefit from recognition, marketing, and networking opportunities.

Taxpayers in the highest income tax bracket will see the value of their charitable deduction benefits capped at 35%. For example, a $10,000 gift that generates a $3,700 tax savings would be limited to $3,500.
Itemized charitable deductions will only apply if your total donations exceed 0.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Smaller donations may no longer reduce your tax bill unless they clear this new threshold. For example, if your AGI is $200,000, only gifts above $1,000 would be deductible. Strategies such as bunching donations could maximize tax efficiency before the end of 2025.
Corporations will no longer receive a tax deduction for charitable giving unless it equates to at least 1% of the company’s taxable earnings.
Beginning in 2026, individuals can deduct up to $1,000 or married couples filing jointly up to $2,000 in above the line charitable deductions. This is an advantage for those who do not itemize and take the standard deduction, which will increase to $16,100 for individuals and $32,200 for joint filers in 2026.
