From your Finance Team
Did you know you can support Longview EPC with a charitable gift from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA)? Anyone age 72 or older can contribute up to $100,000 from their IRA directly to a charity and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution. This is known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution. 

Longview EPC is a qualified charity and can receive gifts from an IRA as part of your Required Minimum Distribution. We suggest you check with your tax advisor as part of your overall charitable planning. Please contact Gordon Northcutt, Treasurer or Fred Irwin, Finance Deacon to learn more.  

PLEASE NOTE: 2nd Quarter Giving Statements mailed this week.
