GIFTS TO HILLSBORO
Would you like to make donations to
Hillsboro without first having to pay tax on
the money? If you are above age 70 1/2
and you have money invested in an IRA,
you are allowed to give up to $100,000 to
a charity in 2013. Your spouse can give an
equal amount from his/her IRA. By making
the gift directly from the IRA to Hillsboro (or
other qualifying charity or a combination
of charities), you avoid having to pay any
tax on the distribution, and the charity
receives the benefit of the full withdrawal.
Please consult your financial advisor
about your own situation. If you wish to
make such a transfer, call Barbara Fox in
the church office (665-0014) for details of
how to make the transfer.
Remember that we have the option of
making our contributions—regular or Vision
of Faith—by automatic bank draft. If you
are interested, information is available in the
office.
