MATCHING CHALLENGE GRANT: We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax exempt charitable organization. We are very fortunate to have received the continuing support of a donor who has offered to match the donations people send in 2008. It means that if you donate $50, RRP ISA will receive $100. If you donate $500, RRP ISA will receive $1,000. This match will include corporate grants. Some can afford less while others can afford more, but most people who benefit from information, support and advocacy offered here should be able to send something.  Please note that RRP ISA has its own budget and is distinct from any other RRP organization. (1) The easiest way to donate usually takes no more than a few minutes.  To do this, click on DONATE icon below. All transactions are entered through a secure (https://) server encrypted to the standard used in personal banking.   For now at least, we've dumped Paypal. We are in the process of selecting a brand new credit card processing provider. It looks like we are about to establish a internet credit card account with Nova (Virtual Merchant), which has been identified as the third largest and one of the trusted providers of this service in the United States. It absolutely beats Paypal (staff actually answer their phone), is every bit as well-respected and is far more versatile. Researching the options and implementing them has taken much more time than anticipated, however.   (2) You may print out the Donation Form below and mail it and your check, to:   International RRP ISA Center PO Box 4330 Bellingham, Washington 98227(USA) Your check should be payable to The International RRP ISA Center.  (3) You may also make a United Way contribution through monthly employer deductions, indicating that you want these tax-deductible donation to be sent to the International RRP ISA Center.

Other ways of giving:

RETIREMENT ASSETS

Retirement fund gifts to a child or grandchild often end up being very costly because of various taxes and penalties. When you use your IRA assets to fund a gift to the International RRP ISA Center, you preserve your assets and join a discerning group of individuals who understand the tax benefits of estate planning.

BEQUESTS

A will or living trust is the simplest way to create a charitable gift in your estate plan. By creating a will or making a simple revision to your will, you can provide for the needs of loved ones and feel confident that people you trust will manage your affairs as you have directed.

If our services have special meaning to you, a simple codicil to your existing will is all that is needed to include us in your estate plans. The wording is very simple. "I hereby give, devise and bequeath (describe dollar amount, property or proportion of residuary estate) to the International RRP ISA Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation with headquarters in Seattle, WA., for its general educational, service and charitable purposes."

Your will can direct your personal representative to set aside a certain percentage of your estate to establish an endowment for International RRP ISA Center. This fund bearing your name will provide a perpetual flow of income to the International RRP ISA Center for generations to come.

LIFE INSURANCE

Naming the International RRP ISA Center as a beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy is an easy way to support the ISA Center with a gift larger than you may have thought possible.

Without taking any assets or current income away from your financial pool, you can make a significant investment in the future of the International RRP ISA Center. Regardless of whether you have a policy through your employer or one that is privately owned, this type of gift is easy to make. Like a bequest gift, you may want to designate a specific sum, such as $7500.00, or a percentage, such as ten percent (10%),

GIFTS OF STOCK

Gifts of appreciated securities can save you taxes in three ways. Capital gains tax on the appreciation is avoided, as there is no sale. You can take a charitable deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock. The gift is removed from assets subject to estate taxes. You also stretch your giving power.

Instead of writing a check for $10,000, you just contribute the appreciated stock.
