I don't know if they have but charities (nonprofits and churches) lobbied against increasing the standard deduction or to make an exception for charities. Which didn't happen. https://www.philanthropy.com/article/nonprofits-hunt-for-a-t...

I guess there was a $300 provision for charitable deductions enacted in 2020 that they are trying to make permanent and larger. Web site wasn't working for me but Google's cache did: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:WdabFa...
