Your gifts will change lives.

And beginning in 2026,

they may benefit you, too.

At Sin Pausa Foundation, we believe music saves lives. This has been our own lived experience. When Celine Dion mentioned that the saxophone was her favorite instrument, there was nothing that would separate me from my FATE of joining the 6th grade saxophone class. I was privileged to have the support of my parents, a family rooted in sports and achievement, and access to the materials and instructors I was blessed with.

Simply put: most kids don't have that kind of access.

Sin Pausa Foundaton, we seek to shrink that gap but we need your help.

Beginning in 2026, new federal tax laws may allow many donors to receive a charitable tax deduction even if they take the standard deduction. That means your investment in Sin Pausa could have an even greater impact—for our community and for you.

What Changed?

For many taxpayers, eligible cash gifts made to qualified public charities may now qualify for a charitable deduction even when taking the standard deduction.*

Potential deduction limits include:

Individuals Up to $1,000

Married Couples Filing Jointly Up to $2,000

These deductions are in addition to the standard deduction, making charitable giving more accessible than ever for many families.
