If you donated to Globalwide Association or another 501(c)(3) nonprofit, you may be eligible for a tax deduction. Here is exactly what documentation you need, how to request it, and what the IRS requires for charitable contribution deductions.
The Basics: What Makes a Donation Tax-Deductible?
To claim a charitable contribution deduction on your federal tax return, three conditions must be met:
The organization must be a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognized by the IRS.
You must itemize deductions on Schedule A of your Form 1040 (the standard deduction cannot be combined with charitable deductions).
You must have proper documentation — the type required depends on the amount and nature of the gift.
Globalwide Association is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit with EIN 88-4358121. You can verify our status at any time through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at apps.irs.gov.
