Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few frequently asked questions related to contributions and grants.

View All FAQs
Show All FAQs Hide All FAQs
How will I receive a tax receipt for my contributions?

Receipt letters are generated each Monday for the prior week’s contributions.  Letters are archived to your account under the Letters/Statements tab for your convenient retrieval. Letters contain all necessary information required for reporting of your tax-deductible contribution to the IRS, including date of contribution, value, and asset description. Be sure to compare the receipts with your own records.

Consolidated receipt letters for all contributions made within the previous calendar year are also archived to your online account each January.

What are the tax-deductibility limits for contributions into my account?

Contributions to T. Rowe Price Charitable are fully deductible for the tax year in which they are made. Contribution of cash are deductible up to 60% of adjusted gross income (AGI).  Contributions of long-term appreciated securities are deductible up to 30% of AGI. Contributions over these limits can be carried forward for up to five years.

Grant distributions to charities from your giving account are NOT tax-deductible.  

Am I required to make a grant recommendation out of my account every year?

No. Each giving account is required to distribute a minimum of $100 every three years. We will contact you if your giving account has not met this distribution minimum.

A giving account will be considered orphaned if the account has not generated a grant disbursement for three years and T. Rowe Price Charitable’s attempts to contact have been unsuccessful for 60 days in either locating the donor-advisor(s) or causing the donor-advisors(s) to recommend a grant. If the account has a named successor, then the successor shall become the primary donor-advisor. If the account has named charitable beneficiary organizations, then funds shall be disbursed to those beneficiaries. 

How long will it take for my grant recommendation to be considered?

All grant recommendations are reviewed by our professional staff.

The length of the review process is contingent upon:

  • Thoroughness of information provided with the grant recommendation (federal tax ID number/EIN for charitable organization, mailing address, etc.).
  • Our previous experience with the charitable organization recommended.
  • The dollar amount of the recommended grant: Grant recommendations of $250,000 or more require the secondary staff approvals.

Donors can follow the status of their grant recommendation via their online account access. You will be contacted if a recommendation cannot be approved.

Copies of grant letters sent to charities are archived in your online giving account.
