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.
With some organizations, the limit is even less: If you donate to veterans' organizations, fraternal societies, nonprofit cemeteries, and certain private foundations, the limit is 30 percent. Suppose, for example, that your AGI is $90,000 and you donate money to charities in both groups. Your total donations must be under $45,000 and donations to the second group must be less than $30,000.
