Now it's easier than ever to make the gift of a lifetime.
IRAs can qualify for tax-free charitable distributions.

The Evanston Community Foundation can help turn your individual retirement accoutns (IRAs) into tax-saving charitable gifts. New tax benefits allow more people to experience the joy of giving during their lifetimes.

You can give more for less.
Thanks to the new legislation, American seniors can make the gift of a lifetime by giving their IRAs to nonprofits without federal tax penalty. So your retirement funds can go further than ever before.

You can make a difference.
The Foundation can help you connect to the causes you care about most. You can set up a charitable fund in your name or make an unrestricted gift. Giving is one of life's pleasures; we can help you enjoy it today.

There is so much more we'd like you to know.
