Your Voice - Their Vote. Weigh in Now to Restore IRA Rollover
“One donor increased his annual gift by 10 times the usual amount,
due to the IRA Rollover Provision. Others are just getting used to the
possibilities the IRA Rollover provides.”
“I have personally seen the Rollover encourage larger gifts on the part of many generous individuals.”
“We depend on charitable gifts for approximately two-thirds of our
annual revenue …The IRA Rollover has been instrumental in contributing
to this needed support every year since it began, and this year
resulted in the largest single gift ever to our orchestra.”
This week, Congress will vote on whether to reinstate the IRA
Charitable Rollover provision. Add your voice to the hundreds of other
messages orchestras have sent to Congress demonstrating how the IRA
Charitable Rollover provision spurred new and increased giving to
orchestras and thousands of other nonprofit organizations.
On December 31, 2009, the IRA Charitable Rollover
expired along with a number of other tax provisions, removing an
important charitable giving incentive when it is needed most. In this
tough economy, every incentive for charitable giving is essential. The
IRA Rollover allowed donors to make charitable contributions directly
from their retirement accounts, without paying taxes on the
withdrawal.
Please CONTACT CONGRESS TODAY to ask for immediate restoration of this
important charitable giving incentive. The Senate is scheduled to vote
this week on reinstating and extending a number of expired tax
provisions, including the IRA Charitable Rollover. Even if you have
spoken up before, PLEASE WEIGH IN AGAIN as Congress makes key decisions
about the next wave of legislation aimed to boost economic activity.
