Other Ways to Give


IRA Qualified Charitable Deductions

In December of 2015, both the Senate and House passed the Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (H.R. 2029). The bill makes permanent the IRA Charitable Rollover for persons aged 70 1/2 or older. Depending on the type of Individual Retirement Account (IRA) you have, you may be eligible to make a direct transfer of up to $100,000 per year to a qualified charity. The IRA Qualified Charitable Deductions (QCDs) are tax-free and not included in adjusted gross income. Consult a financial advisor for more information and to see if this option benefits you.

Matching Gifts

This is an easy way to increase the impact of your gift. Check with your employer to see if they match employees’ charitable donations. Typically, your employer will have a form you can request and complete.

PLEASE NOTE:  If you are considering giving to FSM through a fund held by another entity, please let us know to expect your gift (a phone call or email is fine). This is because some of these fund managers or banks do not provide us the donor name, making it impossible for us to acknowledge these wonderful gifts. However, if we have heard from you we’ll be able to confirm that it was indeed your gift and we can properly thank you and acknowledge your contribution. (You can remain anonymous in our public donor reports but due to FSM’s policies, it is important for FSM to know who is contributing.)
