There are many ways to give to support NOFA-VT:

 

Make a Donation from Your Retirement Account

Donations from your IRA or IRA Rollover are a great way to support NOFA-VT while reducing your taxable income. If you are over 70½, you can make a Qualified Charitable Contribution (and if you are over 73, these count toward your Required Minimum Distribution). Procedures vary depending on the firm that holds your IRA account. You may donate up to $108,000 to NOFA-VT from your IRA or 401k account without it being counted as taxable income. 

You will likely need NOFA-VT’s Tax ID number, 22-3260420, and our address: PO Box 697, 14 Pleasant St., Richmond, VT 05477. Please let us know if you have any questions or need other information.

You can also make your entire IRA account a charitable donation by naming NOFA-VT as the beneficiary.

Donating your no longer needed life insurance policy is a creative way to support NOFA-VT. Please reach out to your insurance advisor to learn more about how to donate a paid-up policy, transfer an existing policy, or designate NOFA-VT as a beneficiary. NOFA-VT’s Gift Acceptance Committee retains the right to refuse any restricted insurance policy gifts that are not approved by the committee.

You can also make your entire life insurance account a charitable donation by naming NOFA-VT as the beneficiary.
 

Make a Gift of Real Estate

Gifts of real estate are accepted provided they can be used to further NOFA-VT’s mission. Any gifts of real estate can only be accepted with the approval of the Gift Acceptance Committee. NOFA-VT will only accept gifts of real estate that fit within organizational capacity and meet the strategic goals of the organization. 

 

Make a Planned Gift

Your legacy will sustain NOFA-VT’s vital work long into the future, while you maintain full use and benefit of your assets during your lifetime. Your estate attorney will be able to describe the different benefits and planned giving options, including beneficiary designation, charitable bequests, charitable annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and others. If you are making a planned gift, please notify us of your gift so that we can ensure proper credit. Thank you!
