Other Ways to Give
Charitable Contribution
Beginning at age 70-½, you must withdraw a certain amount from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), this is called a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). With a traditional IRA, your contributions were not taxed. Required Minimum Distributions are taxed. But there is a way to lower your taxes on the RMD and help Alexandra House, Inc. You can take some or all of your RMD and donate it directly to a charity, like Alexandra House, through an IRA charitable distribution. An IRA charitable distribution is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year. 401Ks must first be rolled over into an eligible IRA account to qualify for this benefit.
To donate to Alexandra House through a charitable distribution, contact your IRA administrator and make a request. To discuss your IRA charitable distribution gift or inform us of a gift you have already made, please contact Tina Bronson, Director of Mission Advancement, at 763-656-1363.
Matching Gifts
Check with your employer; perhaps your company has a Matching Gift program. Your donation to Alexandra House will go a long way if your company matches your gift. Thousands of companies have Matching Gift programs that double or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions their employees make.
Gifts from the Heart
A tribute gift is a special way to provide a personal remembrance for a deceased family member or friend. An honor gift provides a meaningful way to donate in the name of a family member or friend who is celebrating a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.). Both demonstrate your commitment to creating a violence-free community.
When making a memorial or honor gift, the person or family you designate is notified, and you receive an acknowledgment letter as a receipt. To ensure proper acknowledgment, please provide:
- Name of the person you want to memorialize or honor.
