While LightHouse always relies on the generous support of community members like you, in 2021 there is extra incentive to support LightHouse programs.
The recent stimulus package that was signed into law extended many of the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act provisions, including charitable tax incentives. For 2021, taxpayers who take the standard deduction may also deduct up to $300 in cash charitable donations ($600 for joint filers). For those who itemize, you can now deduct cash gifts up to 100% of your adjusted gross income.
This makes 2021 a great year to support LightHouse programs that help people adjusting to changing vision learn blindness skills such as navigating with a white cane, using a cellphone in a new way, reading braille. It also funds camperships at Enchanted Hills Camp for blind teens this summer.
