Local organizations like Saint John's Program For Real Change depend on donations to fund their workforce training programs and housing for women and children.
Getting contributions before January 1 allows them to qualify for matching contributions. It also comes at a time when some nonprofits are bracing for government funding cuts.
But as the year comes to a close, there are new charitable donation rules to consider as a result of the federal spending bill signed last July 4.
"If you itemize your deduction, it may be beneficial for you to donate by year's end, and if you take a standard deduction, it may be beneficial for you to donate next year," said Kelly Siefkin, with the Sacramento Region Community Foundation.
But you have to wait until January 1 to get the tax write-off.
So whether it's before the clock strikes twelve on New Year's Eve, or sometime next year, local charities say any generous donations will be appreciated.
"If you're considering yourself a member of this community and you want to see great things come, consider giving," Siefkin said.
Charities say there are also tax-advantaged ways to donate through retirement accounts and by "bunching" contributions before the end of the year.
