Ways to Give
We are grateful for the generosity of our alumni and alumnae, current and former parents, and friends. As you plan your gift to Doane Stuart, there are several methods by which you may make your contribution:The IRA Charitable Rollover is Back!
As an element of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010, the provision known as the IRA Charitable Rollover has become available once again to individuals 70 ½ and older. The provision has been extended until December 31, 2011.What does this mean to you?
The IRA Charitable Rollover allows you to exclude from your taxable income gifts made from your IRA, up to $100,000. If you would like to make a donation to Doane Stuart, which benefits your 2010 tax position, individuals 70 ½ and older may make a qualified donation from an IRA by January 31, 2011 (to make a donation for the 2011 tax year, qualified donations from an IRA must be made by December 31, 2011).
January 31, 2011 is approaching quickly—act now! If you would like more information about making a gift to Doane Stuart from your IRA, please contact the Development Office at development@doanestuart.org or (518) 465-5222, ext. 248.
