Donate This Jumu'ah, Before 2023 Ends
Assalamu alaikum Dear Friends!
We hope you are doing well. Your support this year has meant so much! Our educational, social, and spiritual services to the community continued to grow. At the same time, it has been 12 months since we received revised permits from the county. In these past 12 months, there has been tremendous progress: the dome has been mostly completed, doors and windows are now being installed, roughing for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical is mostly complete, and we have now started several finishing items. See the progress video above!
Your support is sadaqah jariah in three ways: (1) Building a masjid, (2) Spreading knowledge, and (3) Raising the next, pious generation, in sha Allah. As we reach the final stages of construction, your continued support is needed more than ever.
Before December 31st, also keep in mind the tax benefits of appropriately timed donations. Here are some of those benefits. (As always, please confirm these benefits with a professional tax advisor.)
Lower Taxable Income for Itemized Deductions
Individuals who itemize their taxes may deduct 60% of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for charitable contributions to qualifying charities like Masjid Uthman.
Tax Avoidance on Capital Gains of Appreciated Stock
Donating appreciated stocks (or other securities such as mutual funds) directly to a charitable organization like Masjid Uthman will avoid payment of tax on capital gains from the appreciated value of those stocks. The full value of the contribution may still be deducted. To donate stock or securities, please call us at (312) 884-9441 or email us at [email protected]. Or click here for instructions and more information.
Matching Donations Through Your Employer
Many corporate employers offer their employees the benefit of matching employee donations. Through this benefit, employees may even be able to triple their donation!
If you donate in 2022, check whether your employer will match your donation. Masjid Uthman is already set up through many companies, such as Abbott, Microsoft, Shell, and Trans Union. Click here to see if your employer matches gifts.
Ultimately, the true reward, benefit, and match for your donation will be from Allah ﷻ in a house of Jannah that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined. Do not forego this, Allah's ultimate and everlasting reward!
