I'm married filing jointly not itemizing.

That goes into effect for next year when you file a 2026 tax return--not for 2025. For 2025, charity donations go on Schedule A along with mortgage interest, property tax etc. If your itemized deductions do not exceed your standard deduction for 2025, the charity donation has no effect.
