Smart Ways to Give This Fall

As year-end approaches, we’ll be sharing a few simple, tax-smart ways you can make an even bigger difference at the Mandell JCC. One of the most powerful options for many supporters age 70½ and older is giving directly from an IRA. Watch for these quick tips every other week through November and see how easy it can be to turn your retirement savings into community impact.

 

Reduce Taxes. Increase Impact.
A gift to us directly from your IRA, after age 70 1/2, is a simple, tax free way to support the Mandell JCC. And, if you are required to make a minimum annual distribution from your IRA, you can make a gift directly to us and not only satisfy your RMD without income taxes, but also help strengthen our community at the same time.

 

Make Your Retirement Work for the Community You Love
Your retirement savings can do more than provide for you - they can build the warm, inclusive community at the Mandell JCC. Making a direct transfer of any amount from your IRA is easy, can reduce your taxable income, and leaves a lasting mark on the community you love.

 Increase Your Impact with Tax Savvy Giving Strategies

  1. Donate appreciated stocks or securities directly to the JCC, which can potentially provide you with tax advantages. By donating these assets, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes and claim a charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the donated securities. Please call Cheryl Couture at 860-231-6336 for more information.
  2. Consider a gift from a donor-advised fund (DAF), which allows you to make a tax-deductible donation to the fund and then recommend grants to the JCC. This approach can provide you with an immediate tax benefit while also enabling you to support our mission in a sustained manner.
  3. Use your IRA for good! A charitable IRA Rollover is a special provision allowing particular donors of age 701⁄2 and above to make a QCD – a transfer of IRA assets directly to public charities like the Mandell JCC – thereby excluding that amount from taxable income and counting toward their RMD.
  4. You may be eligible to get a matching gift from your employer (or your spouse’s employer) which can double or triple the impact of your JCC gift. Be sure to contact your company’s Human Resources office to see if your employer will match your gift.
