Employer matching gifts
Many companies match charitable gifts made by their employees. Contact your HR department to find out if your company matches, and your gift could be doubled or tripled.
IRA donations
Did you know you can make a tax-free donation directly from your IRA? An IRS provision allows retirees age 70 1/2 years and older to donate up to $100,000 tax-free from their IRA each year to a qualified charity, such as Oikocredit US.
Talk with your personal IRA administrator or contact Matt Eldridge at meldridge@oikocreditus.org or (425) 202-5138.
