IRA Charitable Rollover:

 The IRA Charitable Rollover law allows individuals 70.5 years or older to give up to $100,000 directly from their IRA to one or more qualified organizations without paying federal income tax on the withdrawal.

Stocks and Bonds:

 Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to MAHS.

Real Estate:

The donation of appreciated real estate, such as a home, undeveloped land, farmland, or commercial property, is a great way to support MAHS projects and programs.

Retirement Assets:

Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan helps support the mission of MNHS.

Insurance:

If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider gifting it to MAHS. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.
