THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO GIVE ON-LINE AND TO THE SECOND COLLECTIONS DESIGNATED FOR HOLY TRINTY CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

HOLY TRINITY CATH0LIC SCHOOL 2020 – 2021 ANNUAL FUND APPEAL ANNUAL FUND

The Annual Fund Campaign for Holy Trinity Catholic School begins with this annual mailing. A card and envelope for the Annual Fund are enclosed with this report. The return card gives donors the opportunity to make a one-time contribution or to pledge a certain amount for eight months beginning in November 2020 and ending in June 2021.

AN IRA “GIFT FOR GOOD”

Individuals 70 ½ years of age and older can transfer up to $100,000 of IRA assets directly to a charity without the money being included as income for tax purposes. Each spouse has this option, giving married couples the opportunity to donate up to $200,000. This preserves the full amount for charity and allows donors to do this during their lifetime, rather than waiting to give through estate plans. For individuals 70 ½ years of age and older, a qualified charitable distribution can count towards the required minimum distribution (RMD). This offers a distinct advantage over taking an IRA distribution and then contributing the proceeds of that distribution to a charity. That’s because taxable IRA distributions must be included in adjusted gross income. By donating IRA assets to charity, beneficiaries/heirs are not burdened by the potential taxes associated with receiving IRA assets upon death. Use funds to create a lasting legacy! Provide financial support to Holy Trinity Catholic School and make a significant, meaningful difference while enjoying tax advantages.

NO GIFT IS TOO SMALL

Every dollar counts and combined can make a huge impact on a child's life.

MONTHLY PLEDGE

Every gift, great or small, when added with the gifts of others can add up to something amazing! Whatever amount you feel called to give can be spread out over eight (8) monthly payments (November-June).
