Hi friend,

The end of the year is almost here and your support can make a meaningful difference for thousands of Art in Action ([link removed]) students!

There are several options for giving with potential tax benefits:

Recommending a gift through your Donor-Advised Fund (mailto:[email protected]?subject=DAF%20Gift%20to%20Art%20in%20Action&body=Hi%20Kaleo%2C%0AMy%20name%20is%20_____%20and%20I%20am%20interested%20in%20making%20a%20gift%20of%20_____%20through%20my%20DAF.%20Please%20let%20me%20know%20what%20information%20you%20need%20from%20me%20to%20make%20this%20happen.%20I%20am%20excited%20to%20help%20make%20a%20difference%20and%20bring%20art%20education%20and%20supplies%20to%20children.%0AYou%20can%20reach%20me%20by%20email%20or%20at%20_____%20if%20it%20is%20easier%20to%20connect%20by%20phone.%0AThank%20you%2C%0A%20__________) is direct and simple.

• DAF giving is a quick and intentional way to show your support of arts education.

Art in Action is a qualified 501(c)(3) and eligible to receive DAF grants.

A gift of appreciated stock or mutual funds (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Stock%20Gift%20to%20Art%20in%20Action&body=Hi%20Kaleo%2C%0AMy%20name%20is%20_____%20and%20I%20am%20interested%20in%20making%20a%20gift%20of%20_____%20through%20my%20stock.%20Please%20let%20me%20know%20what%20information%20you%20need%20from%20me%20to%20make%20this%20happen.%20I%20am%20excited%20to%20help%20make%20a%20difference%20and%20bring%20art%20education%20and%20supplies%20to%20children.%0AYou%20can%20reach%20me%20by%20email%20or%20at%20_____%20if%20it%20is%20easier%20to%20connect%20by%20phone.%0AThank%20you%2C%0A%20__________) can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to make a larger impact.

When you donate securities directly:

• You may avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation

• You may receive a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value

• Deductions are generally available up to 30% of AGI

*This strategy often allows donors to give more at a lower after-tax cost than a cash gift.

(Here’s a short video explaining why this option is so powerful.) ([link removed])

If you're 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift from your IRA (mailto:[email protected]?subject=IRA%20Gift%20to%20Art%20in%20Action&body=Hi%20Kaleo%2C%0AMy%20name%20is%20_____%20and%20I%20am%20interested%20in%20making%20a%20gift%20of%20_____%20through%20my%20IRA.%20Please%20let%20me%20know%20what%20information%20you%20need%20from%20me%20to%20make%20this%20happen.%20I%20am%20excited%20to%20help%20make%20a%20difference%20and%20bring%20art%20education%20and%20supplies%20to%20children.%0AYou%20can%20reach%20me%20by%20email%20or%20at%20_____%20if%20it%20is%20easier%20to%20connect%20by%20phone.%0AThank%20you%2C%0A%20__________) directly to Art in Action.

Potential benefits include:

• Excluding the distribution from taxable income

• Counting the gift toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)

• Potentially reducing AGI, which may lower taxes on Social Security or Medicare premiums

*QCDs are a meaningful way to give while managing retirement-income taxes wisely.

Cash contributions—whether one-time or monthly—are one of the most direct and immediate ways to support our programs. Cash gifts are generally deductible up to 60% of AGI.
