charitable contribution
Gift to nonprofit
A charitable contribution is a donation of money, property, or services to a nonprofit organization, religious institution, or other qualified recipient.
The term appears frequently in tax contexts, where such contributions may be deductible: Keep records of all charitable contributions for your tax return.
The phrase emphasizes the voluntary, benevolent nature of the gift rather than any exchange of value.
