STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________

2025-2026 Regular Sessions

IN SENATE

(Prefiled)

January 8, 2025 ___________

Introduced by Sen. JACKSON -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Finance -- recommitted to the Committee on Finance in accordance with Senate Rule 6, sec. 8 -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee

AN ACT to amend part LL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2018 amending the state finance law relating to establishing the charitable gifts trust fund and the health charitable account, and the elementary and second- ary education charitable account, in relation to increasing the contribution cap to twenty million dollars

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows:

1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that 2 the charitable tax credit provides significant tax benefits to donors 3 contributing to the State University of New York Impact Foundation, 4 offering an eighty-five percent tax credit against New York state income 5 tax and a fifteen percent deduction against federal income tax. The 6 program has been highly successful in encouraging charitable donations 7 to the state university of New York (SUNY) system. 8 The legislature further finds that the City University of New York 9 (CUNY) system, including the City University of New York Research Foun- 10 dation, receives charitable contributions that support its educational 11 programs, research activities, and student services. Providing access to 12 the charitable tax credit will assist CUNY in attracting additional 13 private donations. 14 However, applications for the tax credit have exceeded the current ten 15 million dollar annual cap, which limits the ability to meet donor inter- 16 est and leverage further private contributions. In order to allow more 17 donors to participate and provide critical financial support to the SUNY 18 and CUNY systems, this legislation increases the annual cap of the

1 program to twenty million dollars. This expansion will increase the 2 program's capacity to meet demand and support educational programs, 3 scholarships, research, and other institutional improvements. 4 § 2. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 1 of section 3 of part LL of chapter 5 59 of the laws of 2018 amending the state finance law relating to estab- 6 lishing the charitable gifts trust fund and the health charitable 7 account, and the elementary and secondary education charitable account, 8 is amended to read as follows: 9 (e) Contribution cap. The maximum permitted contributions under this 10 section available annually for calendar year two thousand eighteen [ and 11 all following years ] through two thousand twenty-five shall be ten 12 million dollars and for calendar year two thousand twenty-six and all 13 following years shall be twenty million dollars for the SUNY foundation 14 and for calendar year two thousand eighteen and all following years 15 shall be ten million dollars for the CUNY foundation and for calendar 16 year two thousand twenty-six and all following years shall be twenty 17 million dollars for the city university of New York research foundation . 18 § 3.
