Will OBBBA Reshape Giving? The 2026 Shift You Need to Prepare For.

A dive into how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will change donor behavior, tax-efficient giving strategies, and campaign planning — starting in 2026.

The Coming Donor Behavior Shift: How OBBBA Will Reshape Giving, Tuition Support & Campaign Strategy We will do a deep dive into several major changes coming out of OBBBA, including:
  • How the new $1,700 Tax Credit for scholarship contributions may transform fundraising for schools and other scholarship-granting organizations.
  • New charitable deduction rules beginning in 2026 will change donor timing and giving behavior.
  • AGI-based giving limits will require more customized strategies for different donor income levels.
  • Stricter limits on itemized deductions will increase the strategic value of QCDs and other retirement-based giving options.
  • The new 1% corporate giving floor will shift businesses toward partnership-style philanthropic engagement.
  • A phased rollout across 2026–2027 means early donor education is critical to avoid confusion and inactivity.
  • Donors will increasingly expect tax-efficient giving guidance rather than purely mission-based messaging.
  • Fundraising will move from annual appeals toward more structured, long-term gift and legacy planning.
  • Successful organizations will adopt an education-first model emphasizing coaching and planning over solicitation.
