All AMC programs are made possible by the generosity and support of people like you. Planned gifts to the AMC allow us to continue our mission to promote the protection, enjoyment, and wise use of the mountains, rivers, and trails of the Appalachian region into the future and may also help you with your financial needs.
Planned Gifts
Those who support the AMC through a planned gift are welcomed into the Summit Society, in recognition and honor of their loyalty and dedication to the AMC.
There are two ways to make a planned gift to the AMC.
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 617.391.6638 or kaback@outdoors.org if you are interested in making a gift from your IRA or would like more information.

If you have already included AMC in your estate plans, please let us know so that we can express our gratitude for your generosity and foresight and include you in the Summit Society. You can call or email Katrin Aback at 617.391.6638 or kaback@outdoors.org.
