Beyond an investment from your heart, a donation to RMHC can also be a financial benefit come tax time.
Here are some considerations to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your generous donation:
As a nonprofit corporation, RMHC is classified by the Internal Revenue Services as exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and as a public charity under IRC Section 509.
Keep records of your donations, including importantly, receipts or letters from RMHC acknowledging receipt of your donation.
Donations of more than $250 must be supported by record of payment from your bank. (Cancelled check, bank statement, etc.)
If you volunteer, you cannot deduct the value of your services, but you may be able to deduct some expenses if they are:
Not reimbursed through your employer or anyone else
Directly connected with the services you performed
Expenses you had only as a result of your volunteer work
Not personal, living or family expenses
Generally, no more than 50 percent of your adjusted gross income can be deducted. If you donate more, carry that undeductable amount over into the next year.
We recommend you contact a tax professional for more information.
In addition to donations from individuals, the following ways of giving also qualify for maximum tax benefits:
Private Foundations
As a public charity, RMHC is qualified to receive grants from private foundations. A grant to RMHC will help your foundation satisfy its annual distribution requirements while helping RMHC accomplish its mission of serving children.
Donations of Securities
In addition to donating cash to RMHC, individual donors may make gifts of publicly traded securities. The donor is not taxed on any gain in the property, and the donor may deduct the fair market value of the gifted securities against other income (subject to certain limitations).
Donors should seek the advice of a professional tax advisor. The Legacy Planning department of RMHC will happily assist donors and advisors in structuring their gifts.
Planned Giving
"Every year when my adult childrens' birthdays approach, I send a donation to the Ronald McDonald Family Room in name of their birthday. Why purchase another sweater or book when I know the charity will do so much more with my contribution? Whether I am able to send $10 or $100 each year, I make sure to send my childrens' birthday gift right to the family room and spread the wealth." - Mrs.Phyllis Rozanski:Volunteer, Mother, and Donor
Bequests, trust, life insurance, gift annuities or retained life estates are common types of planned gifts. Consult your tax advisor to see how you might help in this way.
Thank you to all of our Donors!
We would like to extend a thank you to everyone who has helped support our organization! Every little bit you give, goes a very long way!
