Ways to Donate

Cash
Cash, usually in the form of a check, is the most common form for charitable gifts. Cash gifts enable you as a donor to claim a current income tax deduction as allowed by law. Actual savings from gifts of cash depend on your tax bracket. All checks are made payable to Carson Valley Arts Council with the words donation on the memo line of your check.

IRA Charitable Rollover
REDUCE TAXES, INCREASE IMPACT! The IRA charitable rollover provides several benefits. It allows individuals 70½ and older to transfer up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to a nonprofit this year. You pay no taxes on the transfer and your gift counts dollar-for-dollar to support our important work.

To benefit this year, your IRA charitable rollover gift needs to be made before December 31. Call your IRA administrator for more information on how to make the IRA rollover work for you.
