Give Through Your IRAIf you are 70½ or older, you can use your IRA to fulfill your charitable goals. An IRA charitable rollover can lower income and taxes from IRA withdrawals, allowing you to help continue our work and benefit this year. |
Retirement AssetsDesignating Maine Public as the beneficiary of a retirement account such as 401k, 403(b), IRA and other retirement accounts causes the charitable gift to be deductible for income tax or estate tax purposes. |

Gift of SecuritiesThere are distinct income tax advantages of giving securities over cash, and the benefits are twofold: you will receive a deduction for the fair market value of the stock (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income), and capital gains taxes do not apply. |
Charitable Remainder TrustAn irrevocable trust may be used to provide the donor or a loved one with a fixed annual income or an income which varies with the value of the trust. A portion of the trust qualifies for an income tax deduction. At the death of the last income beneficiary, the assets in the trust are distributed to Maine Public. |
