New Rules, New Opportunities
Smart Giving Strategies for 2026 and Beyond
Faithful generosity often begins by considering what God has entrusted to us and how He may be inviting us to use those gifts for His purposes. For those who care deeply about seeing students and faculty transformed by Jesus, this reflection naturally shapes the way we give.
Recent tax law changes have adjusted certain aspects of charitable giving, but there are practical strategies to help you give confidently. Whether your focus is faithful stewardship, strengthening your partnership with InterVarsity, or shaping a powerful, purposeful legacy, we hope these insights will serve you well.
We also invite you to request our complimentary booklet, The Benefits of Donor-Advised Funds, which explores a giving option that provides added value under the new law.
Thank you for walking alongside InterVarsity. Your thoughtful planning helps ensure that future generations of students and faculty will encounter Jesus and be equipped to follow Him for a lifetime.
With gratitude,
“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”
— 1 Corinthians 4:2 (ESV)
