Linkenheimer’s 2022 Nicaragua Eye Care Trip

A team from Linkenheimer spent 10 days in Nicaragua during June of 2022 with the hope of bringing eye care and the gift of vision to people in the rural region of the Rio San Juan. Nicaragua is the 2nd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and the people in this region are severely underserved. Most have no medical, eye or dental care available to them. During our time there, the team tested and dispensed eye glasses to over 630 patients, many of whom travelled great distances to get to our testing site. The village we set set up in for testing is a hub for immigrants from Venezuela, Cuba and Columbia who are travelling to the U.S. border. We also provided toys and games for the children, along with sunglasses. This was Linkenheimer’s sixth trip to the region.

Nicaraguan Surgery Center Opens with the Help of Linkenheimer and Rotary

Linkenheimer is excited to announce the grand opening of the new Surgery Center in the Rio San Juan Region of Nicaragua. Since 2007, the firm has made seven trips to Nicaragua to provide eye and care to a region of 40,000 people that would otherwise never receive medical attention. John Jones has been leading these trips with Linkenheimer, Santa Rosa Sunrise Rotary and St. Mark Lutheran Church. Santa Rosa Sunrise Rotary has made six trips to the region, while St. Mark has sent teams almost every summer since 2006. Over the course of the past 14 years, John has personally examined over 25,000 people in the region, providing eye exams and prescription glasses.

Nicaragua is the 2^nd poorest country in the western hemisphere behind Haiti. The area of Sabalos and the Rio San Juan is the poorest of all Nicaragua. Average per capita income for the country is about $400 and in the Rio San Juan it is closer to $200 per year. Few paying jobs exist with most people surviving on subsistence farming. The people though are very content and gracious. There are […]

In order to incentivize charitable giving, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act made some liberalizations to the rules governing charitable deductions. Here are two changes that affect businesses:

The limit on charitable deductions for corporations has increased. Before the CARES Act, the total charitable deduction that a corporation could generally claim for the year couldn’t exceed 10% of corporate taxable income (as determined with several modifications for these purposes). Contributions in excess of the 10% limit are carried forward and may be used during the next five years (subject to the 10%-of-taxable-income limitation each year).

What changed? Under the CARES Act, the limitation on charitable deductions for corporations (generally 10% of modified taxable income) doesn’t apply to qualifying contributions made in 2020. Instead, a corporation’s qualifying contributions, reduced by other contributions, can be as much […]
