More ways to give

Tax-free from your IRA

Generally, when you take a distribution from your IRA, it is treated as taxable income, and as you age, drawdowns become mandatory. However the provision referred to as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows retirees who are age 70½ and older to donate up to $100,000 tax free from their IRA each year.

Planned Giving

As a donor, you are able to direct an executor or trustee to make a gift to Lincoln Literacy through a will or trust. You maintain complete control over the assets during your lifetime, and you can change your instructions for their ultimate distribution at any time.

Legacy for Literacy

Tribute Donations

As a commemorative donation, tribute gifts can be made in memory, in honor, or in support of a close friend or family member.

In-kind Donations

In-kind donations include gifting goods, services or time — instead of money. Tangible goods may include things like equipment such as laptops or tablets, books, and/or writing supplies. Goods may also be intangible, such as advertising and professional services. Goods may be gently used or new.
