Support AMC by Making a Gift Using Your IRA
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included an extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover. It allows people who are 70½ or older to make cash gifts of up to $100,000 a year from their IRA to AMC or another qualified charity, without having to pay income tax. This is great news for people who take mandatory minimum withdrawals, but do not need the income. The extension expires at the end of 2009.
Please contact Katrin Aback at 617.523.0655 x338 or kaback@outdoors.org if you are interested in making a gift from your IRA or would like more information.
