HONORARY AND LEGACY GIFTS

Giving from Your IRA

Since December 2015, individual taxpayers, older than 70.5 years may donate up to $100,000 from their individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs to nonprofit organizations without having to treat withdrawals as taxable income. This is known as an IRA charitable rollover and the full amount of the donation is transferred directly to ARC.

Estate, Planned, Bequests and Legacy Giving

Planned gifts play a vital role in the future of ARC as we work to secure our long-term sustainability.

These gifts may include bequests made in a will, beneficiary designations of a life insurance policy or retirement plan, they can be made for specific dollar amounts or for a percentage of the overall value.

Gifts may be made in the form of cash, stocks, bonds, IRAs, real estate, any other personal property or through establishing a charitable trust.

The taxable portion of the estate is decreased by the amount of the donation, and thus reduces tax liability.

Please consult your accountant or financial adviser to explore your options for supporting ARC’s future.

Retirement Plans

Through contacting your retirement plan administrator, you can designate ARC Retreat Center as a beneficiary.

Often this is as easy as completing a paper or online form.

ARC will then receive the designated portion of your account after your lifetime, tax-free.

Memorial Donation

Make a gift to ARC in memory of a deceased family member, or other loved one.

This type of gift is often made in lieu of sending flowers for a memorial service, in honor of the anniversary of their passing or other special times of remembrance.

Please include the name of the individual and, if you’d like, the family’s main contact and address.

ARC will let them know you have made a donation in memory of the individual without disclosing the amount.

Tribute Donation

Honor individuals, groups or occasions through a donation to ARC in lieu of material goods.

This may be for weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, bar/bat-mitzvahs or other special occasions.

The community and guests at ARC thank you for your generous support!
