Support SHARE with a Gift from Your IRA
|
For more than 40 years, SHARE has provided dedicated, experienced support to women and families facing breast and ovarian cancer. Whether SHARE has made a difference in your life, or a loved one's, we hope you will consider making a tax-efficient gift from your retirement account to support our free services.
As you may know, the IRA Rollover Law was permanently extended last year. This means that you can make a gift to SHARE from your retirement account without including the distributed amount in your total income, if you meet the following requirements:
- You must be 70 ½ years old
- You must not receive any goods or services in return for your gift
- Your rollover may not exceed $100,000
To make a gift, please send a letter to your IRA administrator requesting a direct charitable distribution to SHARE in the amount you wish to donate. The letter should include SHARE's tax id number, 13-3131914.
Please contact Leah Cooper, Director of Development, at
[email protected] or (212) 937-5584 if you have any questions, or need additional information.
Thank you for your support of SHARE!
