Catholic Charities CARES for Community Campaign

On Friday, March 27, the President signed into law H.R. 748, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The CARES Act contains a number of relief provisions—including tax provisions—designed to sustain Americans during the COVID-19 health and economic crisis.

Sections 2204 and 2205 of the CARES Act outline a charitable giving incentive for any donor that makes a contribution to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in an amount of up to $300 in the year 2020, resulting in a non-itemized tax deduction applied to all taxpayers to their 2020 tax returns.

Since first establishing the Pandemic Relief Fund in March, Catholic Charities has already received $40,000 from our community to be used towards a match. Know that by donating your $300 tax incentive to the Catholic Charities Pandemic Relief Fund, your donation of $300 or more helps us reach our $100,000 goal.

Catholic Charities is one of the largest emergency service providers serving the Central Minnesota community. Additional financial donations are needed for us to continue providing relief to our neighbors negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Catholic Charities is committed to the health and safety of our clients, staff and volunteers. Our ability to continue providing critical services is of utmost importance. Thank you for caring for our community and for continuing to be beacons of hope.
