<VV> CPF - Donation time

[Seth Emerson]

Corvair Preservation Foundation – Call for action


Not only is this the Holiday season, it is also Tax season.You may think that is in April, but now is the time to perform tasks that willimpact April.

For the 2020 tax year and the 2021 tax year (now) the IRS isallowing you to deduct an additional $300 per individual or $600 per jointlyfiling couple, even if you are taking the “Standard” deduction on your incometaxes or itemizing. For those fortunate enough to afford it, this is a perfecttime to consider donating to the CPF. The Corvair Preservation Foundation (CPF)- an affiliate of the Corvair Society of America - is a 501(c)(3) non-profitcorporation which is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of theCorvair.  The mission of the CorvairPreservation Foundation is to document all aspects of Corvair history and topreserve significant Corvair artifacts for the enjoyment and education of thepublic.


This is NOT Corsa, the Corvair Society – Donations to Corsaare not tax deductible. CPF is all about the Corvair itself!


For CPF, individuals can write off up to $300 in cashdonations, and up to $600 for married couples filing jointly, made toqualifying charities in 2021, like CPF, regardless of if they take the standarddeduction or itemize their taxes. Typically, only those that do the latter canwrite off donations, but Covid-era laws changed that for 2020 and 2021.

So – Before the end of the year slips away, along with thisshort-term opportunity, go look at what you may have already donated tocharities during the past 12 months, and consider donating some more, lettingUncle Sam help you (via the deduction) to contribute to the long-term health ofCPF and the Corvair Museum.
