charitable gifts

Donations to nonprofits

Charitable gifts are donations made to nonprofit organizations, religious institutions, or other causes serving the public good.

The phrase appears frequently in legal and tax contexts, where such gifts may qualify for deductions: Charitable gifts over a certain amount require documentation.

The term emphasizes the benevolent intent behind the giving rather than any expected return.
