Giving Tuesday

Giving is not about making a donation, it’s about making an IMPACT. 

This Giving Tuesday, we are spotlighting our Amazon Holiday Wishlist.  Our house is like any other, we require replacements and upgrades from time to time to better serve our guests.

Other Ways to Make a Gift 

Year-End Strategies to Meet Your Needs and Make the Greatest Impact

 Flexible Assets You Can Give Other Than Cash

Stocks or Appreciated Securities:
Give by transferring stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Gifts of marketable securities held for more than one year are credited for the full fair market value and are eligible for a charitable deduction to potentially offset current year income without realization of taxable capital gains.

Qualified Charitable Distribution from Retirement Account:
If you are 70 ½ years or older, you can make a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA of up to $100,000 per person ($200,000 per couple) to Ronald McDonald House; that amount is excluded from your gross taxable income.

Donor Advised Funds:
Donor Advised Funds can be used to make fully tax deductible gifts and to direct grants to nonprofits, like the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley.  Our organization is a qualified public charity (EIN: 35-2181050). Contact Christina at Criley@rmhghv.org with questions and for delivery instructions

Create a legacy that will support sick children and families for years to come.
