John,

With 2023 just around the corner, many of us are thinking about our year-end charitable donations, figuring out potential implications for 2022 taxes, and how to make the biggest impact on the causes we care most about, now and for generations to come.

As someone who understands both the urgency of climate action and the long-term commitment transformative change requires, I wanted to make sure you know about all the ways you can make your 2022 charitable contributions work for you and those you love.*

Does your employer match donations? Use our handy tool to check and you might be able double your impact towards a just and sustainable world with a gift to Ceres—just like that.

Appreciated securities can be a great way to offset a tax burden. Check with your investment advisor on the best way to leverage your appreciated stocks and securities for a donation to Ceres.

Did you know that if you are 70 ½ or older and have an IRA, your annual required minimum distribution (RMD) can be directed to charity tax-free? Talk with your financial advisor for more information about using this tool to support Ceres.

At this time of year, many people review workplace benefits, open enrollments, and designated beneficiaries for plans like life insurance and retirement funds. You can probably designate Ceres as an up to 100% beneficiary for qualifying benefits.

We want to share our appreciation with you and the Ceres community for considering the best investment and philanthropic options for you and your family. Our planet thanks you!

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season,

Gabriela Goff
Controller
Ceres
