Interplay Between the Limitations on Deductions for Contributions to Public Charities and Private Foundations. As previously discussed, the income tax charitable deduction for contributions of long-term capital gain property to a public charity is subject to a limit of 30 percent of the donorâs contribution base. This limit is reduced to 20 percent in the case of such contributions to a private foundation.
Donations are limited. There's also a limit on how much you can deduct. The basic rule is that your contributions to public charities, colleges and religious groups can't exceed 50 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). The caps are a bit lower for gifts to other types of nonprofits.
