Dear Green American, Green America and our work in the world exist because of people like you who support us through the actions you take, by sharing our mission and message, and by providing financial support to keep our programs running strong. Throughout the year you might make annual or monthly donations, or special gifts to important campaigns. All of these are vital to the work we’re doing together to implement solutions to humanity’s most pressing issues – from climate change to social and economic inequalities. But did you know there are other ways to support Green America? Here are two you may not know about: - IRA QCDs: If you are 70 ½ years of age or older and have a traditional IRA you can make a tax-free donation directly from your IRA called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). All you have to do is request a QCD Form from your IRA custodian or administrator.
- Stock Gifts: Giving gifts of stock can save you capital gains tax and result in a charitable deduction on your tax return. Stock gifts are easy to make! We will work directly with you and your broker to make an electronic transfer that takes just minutes to arrange.
Despite the challenges 2020 has presented, Green America continues to push forward with our work for people and our planet. Together we are advancing regenerative agriculture as a key solution to drawing down CO2 from our atmosphere, ending the use of fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries, reducing toxins in our environment and workplaces, and protecting front-line workers with economic actions. Every day we see that making our economy green, just, and sustainable is more important than ever before. Making a QCD or a Stock Gift is a great way to benefit workers, communities, and our planet at a time when it’s most needed. For more information on IRA QCDs or Stock Gifts, contact me directly at 202-872-5330 or [email protected]. For a just and sustainable future, | |
