Other Ways
to Help
There are many
other ways to help preserve the Adirondack Park. Some options
include:
- Designating
the Council as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or transferring the
policy outright to the Council.
- Designating
the Council as a beneficiary of any funds remaining in your pension
or individual retirement account (IRA).
- Rolling over
money in your IRA to the Council. On Oct. 3, 2008, Congress passed and
the president signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008 (H.R. 1424), legislation that includes a two-year extension
of the IRA charitable rollover. The provision was originally
enacted as part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA).
If you are age 70½ or older and have an Individual Retirement
Account, you can donate up to $100,000 each year from your IRA
to charity. The distribution will not be taxed as income as long
as: the charity is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions,
the charity is not a section 509(a)(3) supporting organization,
and the withdrawal goes directly to the charity. For additional
information, please consult your tax adviser or attorney.
- Making a
gift to the Council that pays the lifetime income to you and/or your spouse
(or other named individual) and that also provide major tax savings.
- Starting
a workplace giving campaign for Earth
Share
at your company.
- Matching
gifts.
Many companies will match your charitable contributions. Check
with your Human Resources department to see if your emloyer will
match your generous gift to the Adirondack Council.
