Employer Matching gift

Employee match programs are a benefit that companies offer to encourage and reward giving among their staff. Think of this as free money you are empowered to employ on behalf of your community and the world. Most companies will match an employee’s gift to a charity one-to-one, but others match gifts two-to-one, and some even match donations three-to-one! This means that your gift to a charity can be worth two to four times as much as you donate.

Not sure if your employer or a potential employer offers a charitable match? Click here to use the Charity Navigator tool to find out!

Do you need to make a Required Minimum Distribution?

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $108,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. As a result, donors may avoid being pushed into higher income tax brackets and prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions, though there are some other limitations. To be eligible, the distribution must be made directly from the IRA to the charity.

​To learn more contact your financial advisor. Classical Up Close is a 501(c)(3) organization, tax ID 46-5255081. 

Oregon Cultural Trust

Our donors can double their gifts for free by making a matching gift to the Cultural Trust and claiming their Cultural tax credit. Click here to learn more.
