The federal, and some state and local, income tax laws in the U.S. offer significant financial incentives for taxpayers to donate cash or other property to qualified charities. These incentives take the form of income tax deductions or credits for charitable gifts and the non-recognition of gain on charitable donations of appreciated property.
