Maryland Governor, Wes Moore, wants to eliminate the charitable tax deduction.

Gov. Moore in his 2025 budget proposal wants to double the standard deduction for Maryland taxpayers, but he wants to eliminate deductions for charitable contributions, child care and mortgage interest. The governor feels that only Maryland’s wealthy residents get the benefit of these tax deductions and that is unfair to most Maryland taxpayers. I understand that, but wealthy Marylanders are the greatest source of revenue for most nonprofits. It is so difficult getting donations now, just imagine how challenging it will be if this budget passes.

Governor Moore, many nonprofits do the work of state and local governments. Here at Let’s Eat we will rescue over one million pounds of food which we will distribute to some of our state’s neediest citizens.
