I didn't have an issue getting a full amount of 40,000 to be used on the Sched A. Cash $25,000 to one and $15,000 to another. With a 75,000 AGI.

Two things to check:
1) Examine your form 1040/1040-SR and make sure your expected ~$75,000 AGI is on line 11. IF it's much lower, then the deduction may be limited because your donations exceeded 60% of AGI.
(or maybe you mis-entered some of your income, so that your AGI is lower than you expected. If you are retired, the $$ amount of your Social Security included in AGI may be lower than you expected too.)
2) After moving on from the table of charities, there is a question about the ones you donated to...
"Are any of the charities you donated to a fraternal society, veterans' organization, nonprofit cemetery, or private foundation?" Along with a series of checkboxes
Checking YES to any of them, can very well limit your cash deduction allowed for the ones you said Yes to. The church donation should not be labelled a YES....but i don't know who else you donated to.
