IRA Rollover Provision Extended Through 2009!
When President Bush signed into law the $700 billion economic bailout bill (H.R. 1424, Financial Rescue Package), it included a two-year extension of the IRA Rollover provision as well as other charitable giving provisions.
It exempts from taxable income any funds transferred (“rolled over”) from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a charitable organization. The following limitations apply:
- The donor must be age 70½ or older.
- The cap on annual IRA rollovers is $100,000.
- The contribution must be a direct gift to a charity (no planned gifts).
The provision will be made retroactive to Jan. 1, 2008, and will apply to gifts made from that date through Dec. 31, 2009. This is another great way to support La Leche League International!
Gifts of securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds are
especially advantageous if you hold a security such as stock that has
increased in value since you acquired it. By making a gift of stock
held longer than one year, you avoid paying capital gains tax. Click
the link above to learn more.
If you are
making a donation in December that you want reported in the current tax
year, we strongly recommend that you initiate the process early in the
month to avoid end of year delays.
Click the link above to
learn more about planned giving to La League International, including
Bequests, Charitable Remainder Trusts, and Life Insurance.
You may be able to double, or even triple, the amount of your gift to
La Leche League International at no additional cost to you.
Many
corporations match the gifts their employees give to nonprofit
organizations. These matching programs have been made part of many
corporate giving initiatives both to extend the reach of corporate
giving and to encourage employees to be actively involved in supporting
their communities.
To see if your employer has a matching gift program, click the link above.
If your comp
any is eligible, request a matching gift form from your
company's personnel or human resources office, and send it completed
and signed with your gift to the address listed above.

Businesses Supporting Charities in Lieu of Exchanging Gifts
If your business donates to a charitable organization during the holidays in lieu of exchanging gifts, submit La Leche League International as one of the charities for your business to support. If your business currently does not make a donation to a charitable organization, ask if your business has a charitable fund and if they would consider making a donation to La Leche League International.
