Leave a lasting legacy that transforms young lives.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
Did you know that if you are 70½ or older, you can give an organization like the Amos Youth Centre (via the African Education Program) a donation from your IRA without any income tax implications?
When you take funds from your IRA, they count as taxable income. But making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows a transfer of up to $100,000 per individual or $200,000 per couple to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
When you support the Amos Youth Centre (via the African Education Program) with a gift from your IRA, you can make an immediate and lasting impact on the lives of the girls and boys that we serve. Your IRA custodian can help you make this happen today.
Bequests
Leaving a legacy gift is a great way to honor your lifetime values and make a difference in the lives of our girls and boys. When you write your will, you can make a bequest by including the Amos Youth Centre (via the African Education Program) as a beneficiary.
Consider this sample language to leave a gift for the African Education Program:
“After taking care of all expenses, debts, and other provisions, I give, devise and bequeath _% of the rest and residue [or $___ if a specific amount] to the African Education Program, a PA-based 501(c)(3) [EIN 42-1585011], located at 19 Donna Lane, Wayne, PA 19087.”
If you wish to make changes to your will to include the Amos Youth Centre (via the African Education Program), you can amend it by using a Codicil. A codicil is a document your attorney can prepare to amend your will or trust without rewriting the entire document.
