As the year draws to a close, many of us reflect on the things that matter most—family, community, and the causes we care deeply about. At Spirit of Atlanta, our mission goes beyond music; we empower young performers to reach their highest potential through education, discipline, and the transformative power of the arts. And your support makes that possible.
But did you know that your year-end donation to Spirit of Atlanta can do more than support our mission? It can also provide you with significant tax benefits. Here’s why donating now is a smart move for both your heart and your wallet.
The Spirit of Atlanta Impact
Every dollar you contribute helps us provide life-changing experiences for hundreds of young performers. From training our student-athletes to offering housing, meals, and transportation during our 11-week program, your generosity ensures we continue delivering world-class music education and performances.
Your gift directly supports:
Professional-level music and movement instruction.
Nutritional programs for athletes.
Scholarships for talented performers with financial need.
Community outreach programs that share the joy of music across Atlanta.
When you donate, you become part of something bigger: a community that changes lives through music.
The Tax Benefits of Giving
Donating to Spirit of Atlanta, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, offers you an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while reducing your taxable income. Here’s how:
Charitable Contribution Deductions: Contributions to qualified nonprofits like Spirit of Atlanta may be deductible on your federal taxes. This means you can potentially lower your tax liability while supporting a cause you love.
Reduction of Capital Gains Taxes: By donating appreciated assets such as stocks, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes while still claiming a deduction for the full value of the asset.
Donor-Advised Funds: If you have a donor-advised fund, making a gift to Spirit of Atlanta before December 31 ensures that your donation is counted toward this year’s tax benefits.
Why Act Now?
The deadline to maximize your 2024 tax benefits is December 31. Whether you’re looking to make a one-time contribution, join our monthly giving program, or sponsor a specific aspect of our operations, your generosity will be felt by every member of the Spirit of Atlanta family.
