Please note:

•  Gifts of appreciated stock can help reduce capital gain tax and remain a great way to make a gift.

•  If you have reached the age currently 72 ½ where you need to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your traditional IRA’s, you can avoid paying taxes on them by donating that money directly to charity. This effectively reduces your adjusted gross income.

• Please consult with your tax advisor to determine the best strategy for your philanthropic gifts.

Thank you for all of your support!  https://smile.amazon.com/ch/34-1816879
