New Tax-Free  IRA Charitable Donation

Again the U.S. government has extended through December 31, 2011, a special benefit to those of our members taking the required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA account. This law now allows you to make a direct transfer from your IRA to the Lombard Historical Society, while reducing your taxable income for the year. Transfers must go directly from your IRA to the donor institution. Most financial institutions can easily do this planned giving. Ask your account advisor.

Donations can be made directly to either Lombard Historical Society or to the LHS Peck House Fund. Please consider making a donation to the LHS capital campaign by making your donation to Lombard Historical Society. Thank you for your continued support.
