FEATURED RESOURCES

New in the Marketplace:

CHARITABLE IRA EXTENDED THROUGH 2009
As part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Congress passed a two-year extension of Charitable IRA legislation first enacted for 2006 and 2007.
Please localize and distribute the press release to your local media today.
Additional Charitable IRA materials, updated with new statistics and references, are now posted here.
Use the tools in this Charitable IRA portfolio to:
Update board and staff. Let them know about the provision affecting your community foundation, and ask them to spread the word with their professional advisors and personal contacts.
Alert professional advisors. Send a mailing to all professional advisors on your mailing list. Most are engaged in year-end planning with clients now, so do this as soon as possible.
Inform donors and prospects. Send a mailing to current and prospective donors. Many will only be aware of this opportunity if you share the news.
This is an excellent opportunity to position executive leaders with local media and generate new gifts. Please act now.

Important Note:

Materials included on this website reference the IRA charitable rollover. This charitable giving incentive ended on December 31, 2009. While the Council on Foundations expects that Congress will extend this incentive and do so retroactively to cover all gifts made in 2010, it is currently not an option for donors.

Similarly, these materials reference the estate tax, estate tax rates and estate tax exclusions. Currently, there is no estate tax for 2010. Again, Congress is expected to restore the estate tax at some level that would be retroactive to the start of 2010, but that has not yet occurred. For these reasons, we recommend you work with your local advisors to modify these materials to meet the needs of your community foundation and reflect the current state of the law.
