Charitable Equity for Veterans Act of 2021

The Charitable Equity for Veterans Act of 2021 (S. 2530) aims to update federal tax laws to make it easier for citizens to support veterans' organizations through tax-deductible donations. Under current law, some veterans' groups are ineligible to receive tax-deductible contributions if more than 10% of their members are "peacetime veterans" who did not serve during a formally declared period of war.

This bill would remove that restriction, allowing all federally-chartered, tax-exempt veterans' organizations to accept tax-deductible gifts regardless of when their members served. For everyday citizens, this means more opportunities to receive a tax deduction for donations made to local and national groups that provide support and services to the nation's 2.4 million peacetime veterans.
