Don’t Miss These Important Year-End Giving Deadlines
Your financial advisor, DAF manager, account broker may each have different closing dates for the holidays, so please always check with them. Important dates:
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30
Qualified charitable contributions from an IRA if you are 70½ or older
Many custodians mail a paper check, and their internal cutoffs come earlier than you may expect. We recommend starting by November 30th. If you are 73 or older, a gift made this way can also satisfy your required minimum distribution.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15
Grants from your donor-advised fund
Your sponsor processes the grant and then mails or transfers the funds, which takes time at the busiest point of their year. Recommend early for the grant to reach the Reeve Foundation in 2026.
POSTMARKED BY THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31
Checks by mail
A check postmarked December 31 counts for this year even if it reaches us in January. Take the envelope to a staffed post office counter and request a manual postmark.
BY 11:45 PM, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31
Credit card online gifts
You can make online credit card contributions to the Reeve Foundation through 11:59 pm for gifts you want to count for 2026. But we encourage you to beat the last-minute rush by making gifts by 11:45
