charitable contributions
Gifts to nonprofits
Charitable contributions are donations of money, goods, or services to nonprofit organizations or causes.
The phrase appears most often in tax contexts, where such contributions may be deductible: Keep records of your charitable contributions for tax purposes.
The formal phrasing distinguishes documented giving from casual generosity.
