For High-Income W-2 Earners
Unlock Tax Deductions Beyond Standard Limits
As a high-income W-2 employee, you are the engine of the economy, yet you face one of the highest tax burdens with the fewest options for deductions. The Donation Benefit Services Program (DBSP) is designed to change that.
The High Earner's Dilemma
If you earn a significant salary, you likely watch a large portion of your income go to federal and state taxes, with little recourse beyond standard deductions that are often capped or phased out.
Your financial success comes with a unique set of challenges:
- High Tax Brackets: A large percentage of your income is taxed at the highest marginal rates.
- Limited Deductions: Unlike business owners, you have fewer avenues for write-offs.
- Phase-Outs: Many credits and standard deductions disappear as your income rises.
- Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): You may be subject to AMT, limiting the benefit of the few deductions you can take.
37%
Top Federal Tax Rate
Plus state taxes, leaving you with significantly less of what you earn.

Multi-Year Planning

Impactful Philanthropy
Your investment supports critical community initiatives like affordable housing and job creation while saving you money.
