Throughout another challenging year, IMS has been a source of comfort and inspiration for many. Together, we can alleviate suffering and help people thrive as we enter the new year.
There are many ways to support IMS. Gifts of resources, efforts, and time all strengthen our mission to serve as a spiritual refuge where all are welcomed and nourished by the Dharma.
WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
NOW:
Donate online to make an immediate impact in support of IMS’s mission. Any gift, no matter how big or small, helps bring more compassion and kindness into the world.
| Give stock. Did you know that gifts of appreciated securities can make your contribution go further? You will receive the full market value of the stock as a charitable deduction and avoid a capital gain tax. | Make an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution. If you’re 70.5 or older, you can make tax-free gifts from your IRA to IMS. A qualified charitable distribution from your IRA will count toward your minimum distribution requirement and can be a tax-savvy way to support IMS. Initiate your 2021 gift now to ensure it reaches IMS before the end of the year. |
| Double your impact. See if your employer matches charitable contributions. Some will even triple your gift! | Donate through a Donor Advised Fund. Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are an increasingly popular charitable giving vehicle. If you hold a DAF account, please consider recommending IMS for a grant. |
