Dear John,

The end of the year is quickly approaching. As you plan your holiday charitable giving, we wanted to let you know that there are lots of ways you can support a life in the arts.

Your options include:

• Just Giving: Host your own fundraiser to help raise money and awareness for the Entertainment Community Fund today.
• Donor-Advised Fund: If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), it’s simple to initiate a grant request. Start yours today to avoid year-end processing delays—it’s quick and easy!
• Gifts of Stock: Making a direct donation of appreciated stock to the Entertainment Community Fund may increase your deduction and gift by 20%. Learn more about donating stock.
• Contributing from an IRA Account: If you are 70 ½ years old or older, you may contribute directly from a qualified IRA account to the Entertainment Community Fund and reduce your taxable income immediately. This is also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). FreeWill’s QCD tool will inform you if you’re eligible to make a QCD and will help you get started with making a gift today. Learn more about the benefits of QCDs.
• Charitable Gift Annuity: Another way to support the Entertainment Community Fund is through a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). A CGA allows you to support the Fund, get an immediate tax deduction and in return receive guaranteed income for life. Find out how now.

If at any point in the process you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask! You can reach me at 917.281.5928 or [email protected].

Thank you,
