There is still a small window of opportunity remaining in 2019
for you to take advantage of the popular IRA charitable rollover for this year and a contribution towards UUCF. If you are 70 1/2 or older at the time of your gift, the transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. Many members and friends take advantage of this option towards fulfilling their pledge. If you have any questions, please contact your financial adviser. Jodi Baker
