Honor/Memorial Gifts
Gifts in honor or memory of a loved one, friend or colleague are a thoughtful tribute and also an opportunity to commemorate a special birthday or anniversary. Your gift will be recognized in the Trust's Annual Report and acknowledged with a gift card to the family of friends you designate.
IRA Charitable Rollovers
The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 included a permanent extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover which allows individuals 70 1/2 and older to donate up to $100,000 via direct transfer from their IRAs to eligible charities, without first having to recognize the distribution as income.
However, while the Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, it is additionally classified as a 509(a)(3) Supporting Organization. 509(a)(3) Supporting Organizations are not eligible for direct "qualified charitable distributions" from an IRA. IRA holders may alternately consider taking a distribution, if eligible, from their IRA, pay taxes on that withdrawal, use the proceeds to make a donation, and then claim an income tax charitable deduction.
As the Trust cannot offer tax or legal advice, donors are advised to consult their IRA custodian and/or tax advisor about their specific situation.
Giving Stock/Equities
Donating long-term appreciated securities can provide a tax advantage for the donor and an important gift for the Archives Partnership Trust. Our Tax ID # is 14-1776509.
Matching Gifts
Many companies underwrite generous programs to match their employees' charitable giving. Please check with your Human Resources office for details on how to maximize your gift.
Planned Gifts
You may provide for the future of the Archives Partnership Trust through a bequest. Information on various types of bequests and suggestions of language for adding a codicil to your present will are included.
