DanceCircus and Neighborhood House

Site/Sight—through January 15

​

A video collaboration of DanceCircus and Neighborhood House Youth Poets available on demand via Vimeo at www.turbulenceproject.com.


Directed by Betty Salamun with dance and poetry embodied as video by Dan Boville, these videos build on the poems written and performed by youth poets at Neighborhood House. The youth poets’ concerns, #blacklivesmatter and #home, interconnect with site specific dance performances by DanceCircus and community dancers in Milwaukee’s Avenues West neighborhood.

CARES Act Allows $300 Above-the-Line Charitable Donation Deduction

This provision in the CARES Act is specifically for those who don’t itemize their deductions and would typically not get any tax benefit for donations. Since it’s considered an above-the-line deduction, the IRS applies it when calculating your adjusted gross income (AGI). 

In plain English, if you donate up to $300 in cash to a qualified organization, your AGI will be reduced by up to $300—and you can still claim the standard deduction.
