Your contribution to the Parkinson’s Support Group will ensure that most activities will be offered free of charge to members.  Here are some ways to donate that you may not have thought of and some are NEW.

The Parkinson’s Support Group of Green Valley is an exempt organization as described under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).

We are now an Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization. All Arizona residents may participate and receive a tax credit on their Arizona State Tax. It reduces your tax liability by the amount you donate up to $932 for a married couple and $470 for single or head of household.

Donate Your “Required Minimum Distribution” from your IRA: The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 made permanent the option of qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from individual retirement accounts. This means that persons 70 ½ and older who take annual distributions from their IRA, can make a gift directly from their IRA to the Parkinson’s Support Group of Green Valley, and save the income taxes.

Donate Appreciated Stock: When you donate stock that has increased in value, you get a double-tax benefit. First, you get to take the contribution deduction for the Fair Market Value of the stock on the date you donate it. Second, you don’t have to recognize any gain on the disposal of that stock.

Legacy Gifts: These can include estate gifts made through a will or trust and beneficiary designations of life insurance or retirement accounts.

Please contact your tax advisor as you consider making your gift.

If you would like this donation to be in memory/honor of someone, please send us an email with the information.  Please send email to supportgroup@gvparkinsons.org.
