CARES Act Additional Income Tax Charitable Deduction

You can deduct up to $300 above the standard deduction for individuals in charitable contributions. This is for everyone, even if you have no other itemizations.

Donor Advised Fund

If you already have a Donor Advised Fund, it’s an easy way to give to the WNY Women’s Foundation. Contact your financial advisor or our office for more information. Our EIN is 27-4154672.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions

For individuals with IRA accounts, there are no Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) this year. However, giving pre-tax funds out of your IRA will still lower your future tax burden compared to giving cash. If you are interested in this method of giving, please contact your IRA custodian or our office for more information.

Matching Gift

If your company makes matching gifts, you can double the impact of your contribution to WNY Women’s Foundation.

Monthly Giving

Sign up for monthly giving at www.wnywomensfoundation.org. A small amount each month makes a big impact.
