Tax Benefits from Contributing

You can name our nonprofit as a beneficiary of your insurance policy or as the recipient of an IRA or another qualified retirement fund. 

You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help further our mission. If you are 70½ or older you may also be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. An IRA charitable rollover is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.

  • Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA to our organization

  • May satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year

  • Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions

  • Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts

This year because of the COVID-19 emergency, the federal government approved legislation called the Cares Act. This means that a charitable deduction is unlimited for your 2020 tax returns. If you don’t itemize, you can take up to a $300 deduction for cash gifts to public charities.
