Your donation is tax-deductible

Boulevard Investment Group is a program of the Boulevard Scholarship Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 45-5076362). Donations made on this page go to the Foundation and are tax-deductible as allowed by law. You receive nothing in return for your donation.

How to claim your deduction

  1. Donate on this page. You'll get an email receipt right away. It shows the Foundation's name, the date, the amount, and that you received nothing in return. Save it.

  2. Keep proof of your gift. For any donation, keep your receipt or a bank or credit card statement showing the charity's name, the date and the amount. For a single donation of $250 or more, the IRS also requires a written acknowledgment from the charity. Your email receipt counts. You need it before you file your tax return, and no later than the filing deadline (including extensions).

  3. Claim it on your federal tax return for the year you gave. A credit card donation counts in the year it's charged, even if you pay the bill later.

    • If you itemize: list your donation on Schedule A (Form 1040). Starting in 2026, only your total yearly giving above 0.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) is deductible. Cash donations to public charities like the Foundation can be deducted up to 60% of your AGI. Anything over that limit can be carried forward and deducted over the next 5 years. Example: with $100,000 of AGI, the first $500 you give that year isn't deductible, and you can deduct up to $60,000.

    • If you take the standard deduction: starting in 2026, you can still deduct up to $1,000 of cash donations, including by card or check ($2,000 if married filing jointly). Donations to the Foundation qualify.

Giving by check? Make it payable to Boulevard Scholarship Foundation. A check counts in the year you mail it, and we'll send you a written acknowledgment.

You can confirm the Foundation's status with the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (EIN 45-5076362). This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Your deduction depends on your situation, so please talk to a tax professional.

To give by cash or check, contact our Vice President, Brock Forbes (bforbes@blvdinvestmentgroup.org).
