As we approach the end of 2017, many of us will reflect on our past accomplishments and new opportunities. For those who are committed to supporting programs that help you explore new worlds and new ideas, a year-end contribution to Prairie Public offers a special opportunity. Your gift not only will support programs that enrich your life and your community, but also may offer tax advantages if given by December 31. Here are some ideas worth discussing with your attorney or financial advisor: Cash Gift The easiest way to increase your charitable deduction is through a gift of cash. Make sure your envelope is postmarked by December 31. Keep in mind, too, that some employers will match charitable gifts. Stock or Real Estate Gift A gift of stock or property is sometimes more tax-wise than one of cash, depending on how long you’ve owned it and the tax laws where you live. Charitable IRA Gift If you are age 70½ or older, you may contribute directly from your IRA to Prairie Public by using your mandatory IRA withdrawal (up to $100,000 per year), completely free of federal income tax. To qualify, your contribution must be transferred directly from your IRA administrator to Prairie Public.
North Dakota Tax Credit The state of North Dakota allows a 40% state income tax credit for individual contributions of $5,000 or more to the endowments of nonprofits like Prairie Public.
