For IRA Owners: If you are an IRA owner over the age of 70 ½, you may make a gift from your IRA directly to a qualified charity, including Church of the Redeemer. The maximum IRA charitable rollover gift is $100,000 per year. An IRA charitable rollover gift can help satisfy your required minimum distribution, reduce your taxable income, and further the work of your parish. You can designate your gift to satisfy your 2019 Annual Operating Fund pledge, pre-pay a 2020 Annual Operating pledge, or satisfy a Capital Campaign pledge. Please contact the Business Office for details.
Greater Tax Savings with Gifts of Appreciated Securities: Many donors are unaware that they can give shares of appreciated stocks or mutual funds directly to the parish and enjoy greater tax savings than with a comparable cash gift. If you have owned the securities for at least one year, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes and deduct the full fair market value of your gift to the fullest extent of the law regardless of how much the securities may have appreciated in value over time. Please contact the Business Office to transfer appreciated securities.
Give or Pledge Online or Use Text-to-Give: Any gift made online before midnight on 31 December qualifies as a 2019 gift. Text RedeemerSRQ to 73256 followed by the amount you want to give.
