Year End Giving

Giving at Year End

If you’re like me and make a few additional charitable gifts at the end of the year, well, now is the time. You have until December 31st to make gifts for the 2017 tax year.

Recently you were asked to make a gift to keep OLLI strong and vital, and generous members responded. Won’t you please join these members in making your gift before the end December?

You still have time to write a check, give online, give appreciated securities in this up stock market or give through your IRA if you are age 70 ½ or more. Giving appreciated stocks or mutual funds allow you to avoid capital gains taxes and giving from your traditional IRA allows you to meet your RMD (required minimum distribution) while excluding this amount from income.
