Overview

Resurgam NFP is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to digitally preserving and revitalizing the aesthetic legacies of writers, artists, and composers. Vital tax-deductible contributions directly support our efforts to make these materials freely accessible to the public. All donations are securely processed, and supporters receive full documentation for their records.

Your Donation May Be Tax-Deductible

We’re proud to be recognized by the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit organization. That means your gift isn’t just generous — it may also be tax-deductible!

Federal Tax Deductibility

• Donations by individuals to Resurgam are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law under IRS Code Section 170.
• Your donation may be deducted on your federal income tax return if you itemize deductions.
• Our federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) is 33-2405372.
• After you donate, we’ll send a receipt for your records and tax returns.

💡 In most cases, individuals can deduct up to 60% of their adjusted gross income in charitable donations. Consult your tax advisor to confirm what applies to you.

Illinois State Tax Deductibility

Illinois generally follows federal tax rules, so if your donation is deductible on your federal return, it’s likely deductible on your Illinois return, too.

Note that Illinois taxation starts with federal adjusted gross income and charitable contributions are deducted below the adjusted gross income line on the federal individual tax return. For this reason, charitable contributions are effectively not deductible by individuals in Illinois.

For businesses, charitable contributions to Resurgam may be deductible as business expenses or other qualified deductions (see below).

Donors Outside Illinois

You don’t have to be located in Illinois to receive a tax benefit. If you’re donating to Resurgam from another U.S. state, your gift is still deductible on your federal return, and your state may also allow a deduction for donations to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations like Resurgam.

Please consult your tax advisor or state revenue department for specifics.

Information for Business Donors

We’re grateful for the generous support of for-profit businesses. If you’re considering that type of donation, here’s what you should know about potential federal tax benefits.

Are Business Donations Tax-Deductible?

Yes — depending on your business structure and how the donation is treated, your contribution may be deductible on your federal tax return.

Corporations (C Corps)

• C corporations can deduct charitable donations to 501(c)(3) organizations like Resurgam on their corporate tax returns.
• The deduction is generally limited to 10% of taxable income, though some years may allow more.
• If your donation exceeds the limit, the excess can usually be carried forward up to five years.

S Corporations, Partnerships, and LLCs

• These “pass-through” businesses don’t claim the deduction themselves.
• Instead, the value of a donation is passed through to the business owners, who may deduct it on their individual tax returns, subject to personal income limits.

Can a Business Deduct a Donation as a Business Expense?

Yes — if your contribution supports your business’s marketing or promotional efforts, it may qualify as a business expense instead of a charitable contribution.

For example, if your donation to Resurgam:

• Includes public recognition or sponsorship (e.g. your logo displayed on our website),
• Helps build your brand, goodwill, or customer engagement,

…then it may be deductible under standard business expense rules.

International Donors

Timeless cultural legacies transcend national borders. If you’re donating from outside the United States, thank you!

Please note that your donation may not be tax-deductible under another country’s tax laws. Check with your local tax authority or accountant for advice on international charitable contributions.
