Important Year-End Dates for FJC Account Holders

Grant Recommendations & Distributions: December 16, 2022.  This is the deadline for this year’s grant recommendations!  We know that many of your favorite charities plan big year-end campaigns.  Please help us make these critical resources count for your nonprofit partner’s fiscal year by making your recommendations before this deadline.  

Please note that grant recommendations made after December 16 (5PM Eastern Standard Time) may be approved and processed early in 2023. 

Contributions: December 31, 2022.  For your giving to FJC to qualify for a 2022 tax deduction, we must receive your contributions by December 31. Please note that December 31 falls on a Saturday this year, so in some cases we will need to modify our standard practices.

  • Electronic transfer recommended.  We recommend that cash contributions are sent by credit card, ACH, or wire transfer and received by FJC by December 31. (Please note that ACH transfers can take up to 5 business days to settle, so please plan accordingly). Using electronic payments ensures the most efficient crediting of your account. Please contact FJC for instructions. 
  • Contributions by check.  If you make contributions to your account by check, please note that checks that are sent via U.S. mail must be postmarked by December 31  to qualify as a 2022 tax deduction. Please note that due to the 31st falling on a Saturday, deliveries by other means (such as FedEx, DHL or others) must be received by Friday, December 30.
