Help Us Change the Conversation
Empowering Epilepsy is a grassroots nonprofit 501(c)3 public charity organization created by people with epilepsy in Northeast Ohio for people with epilespy. Our events are either free or low cost thanks to donations from people, families, businesses, and foundations like you.
Whether helping the Empowering Epilepsy community as a whole, or donating in honor of or in memory of a loved one, each donation to Empowering Epilepsy helps support our mission to enable people with epilepsy and their families to take charge of their lives

Charitable Giving Incentives
In response to COVID-19, The CARES Act—the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act—is a $2.2 trillion stimulus plan that contains funding opportunities for charities and enhanced charitable giving incentives. Click the Charitable Giving Incentives to learn more.
Enhanced Charitable Giving Incentives
-
Temporary Universal Charitable Deduction—Taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions can take a one-time deduction of up to $300 for gifts made to charitable organizations.
-
The provision is intended only for the year 2020; however, in the text of the bill, it states taxable years “beginning in 2020 …” and does not include a sunset date, thus it conceivably could extend beyond 2020.
-
The deduction is ONLY for gifts of cash made in calendar year 2020 and does not cover other types of gifts or contributions made to donor-advised funds or private foundations.
