Qualified Charitable Distributions from IRAs
To Our Donors and Friends:

A recent law change offers tax savings to taxpayers age 70 1/2 or older who have one or more traditional IRAs and a desire to make charitable contributions. The new provision, currently scheduled to be effective only for 2006 and 2007, allows taxpayers to make charitable contributions directly from their IRAs for up to $100,000 for each year. These direct charitable distributions, which can take the place of otherwise required minimum distributions are tax free to the IRA owner.

If you'd like to know more about this new provision for either yourself or a family member, please contact your financial advisor.

Cell Phone Donations
Our cell phone fundraiser program is sponsored by Shelter Alliance (www.shelteralliance.net), a program of cell phone recycling company GRC Wireless Recycling (www.grcrecycling.com). Through Shelter Alliance, nonprofit organizations raise funds through the collection & recycling of used cell phones, and businesses & consumers donate & recycle cell phones to benefit nonprofit participants.
