Legacy Stories
When retired nurse Christine began planning her legacy, she knew she wanted it to reflect a lifetime of caring for others. Discover why she chose New Reach—and how her gift will change lives for years to come.

Stocks & Tax-wise Giving
-
If you are age 70 ½ or older, you and your spouse can each direct up to $100,000 from your IRA to charity, without paying federal income tax on the withdrawal. This gift option provides tax savings to donors even if they do not itemize deductions.
Gifts can be used to satisfy your required minimum distribution.
Instead of taking a charitable income tax deduction or the gift, you can exclude the distribution from your income.
The funds must be transferred directly to the charity—it is important not to withdraw the funds before making a gift.
If you wish to direct your gift to New Reach, please contact your IRA plan administrator and request a direct qualified charitable distribution from your IRA account to New Reach, a 501(c)3 organization.

Giving appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares can be a tax-advantaged way to provide immediate support to New Reach. Gifts of any size benefit people in our community who are experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. By giving New Reach appreciated securities that you’ve held for more than a year, you receive a double tax benefit:
You avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation that would be due upon sale;
You can receive a charitable income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the property—up to 30 percent of adjusted gross income;
You can carry forward any unclaimed portion of the deduction for up to five additional years, subject to the annual limit.
