Year-End Giving
As We Enter Q4 2024- Consider the Benefits of Making a Gift to EHSA Through a Required Minimum Distribution.
There are numerous benefits of utilizing Required Minimum Distributions – also known as RMDs – for a year-end donation to The English High School Association (EHSA). Here are five important ones:
- Tax Advantages: One of the primary benefits of utilizing RMDs for donations is the potential tax advantages. RMDs are typically subject to income tax, but by directing a portion of your RMD to a charitable organization like the EHSA, you can potentially reduce your taxable income. This, in turn, may lead to lower tax liability.
- Supporting Education: Donating your RMD to the EHSA allows you to make a meaningful contribution to the education of young individuals in our community. Your support can help provide resources, materials, and opportunities that enhance the quality of education offered at the school.
- Community Impact: By donating your RMD to the EHSA, you are directly contributing to the betterment of our local community. The school plays a vital role in shaping the next generation of leaders, and your donation will have a lasting impact on the lives of students and the broader community.
- Legacy and Recognition: Your donation can serve as a lasting legacy, demonstrating your commitment to education and the betterment of society. Many institutions, including the EHSA, offer recognition and appreciation for significant donors, which can provide a sense of accomplishment and pride.
- Fostering Education Equity: Your support can help bridge gaps and create opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, ensuring that everyone has access to a high-quality education.
Directing your RMDs to EHSA may well align with both your financial goals and your desire to make a positive difference in the lives of other. Consider making an appointment with your financial advisor to explore this option further.
