Your Gift Makes a Difference
Thank you for contributing to our end of year appeal, every gift helps us build a more vibrant, supportive community for older adults in Georgetown. With your help we can continue to grow and strengthen our Village and reach even more older adults in our community!
Why Your Donation Matters
Our supporters know that Georgetown Village (GV) enhances our quality of life, not only for us as individuals but for our entire community. GV is stronger than ever but we depend upon your generosity to provide the important GV services and programs that are increasingly needed, requested, and used by our members. Your donations also help us offer subsidized memberships to ensure that these benefits are available to those with limited means. GV welcomes and recognizes donations at all levels, including those in honor or memory of a loved one.
Thanks to our donors, we never turn anyone away from membership for financial reasons.
Easy and Tax Efficient Ways to Give
1. Gift of appreciated stock. If you itemize, a gift of appreciated stock has two advantages: 1) you qualify for a tax donation equal to the fair market value of the stock; and 2) you will not have to pay capital gains taxes on that asset, which could be as high as 20% (federal) if you were to sell the stock instead and donate the cash proceeds.
2. Qualified Charitable Distribution of IRA assets. Individuals age 70 ½ and older can direct up to $100,000 per year tax-free from their IRAs to qualified charities. These gifts must go directly from your IRA custodian to the charity, are not taxed as income, and may lower your taxable estate.
The current tax law offers deductions to donors who itemize and contribute cash or appreciated non-cash assets such as stock.
