You can double or triple the impact of your donation with a matching gift. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Please check with your employer about its matching gift program, and notify the Development Department if you are able to leverage a corporate match.

Enjoy the ease and convenience of being a monthly donor while providing stability and ongoing support. You may donate online and select “recurring gift” or contact the Development Department by phone or email. Your gift will be automatically charged to your credit card monthly, on the date of your choice. You may change your plan or opt-out at any time.

When you start the process of taking your Qualified Minimum Distribution (QMD) from your individual retirement account (IRA) this year and realize the taxes you’ll have to pay, maybe consider giving to ARB/PBS instead. If you are at least 70 ½ years old, you can give up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to ARB/PBS without it counting as taxable income. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) are now a permanent addition to the tax code and can benefit both you and our dancers.

There are some rules and processes to keep in mind:

• You must be at least 70 ½ or older at the time of the transfer.
• You may transfer up to $100,000 per year.
• Your distribution must come directly from a qualified IRA.
• The amount transferred is excluded from your adjusted gross income (AGI).
• Each financial institution that holds IRAs has their own paperwork and processes that you must complete.
• Always consult your financial advisor before making any charitable gift, including a QCD.
  
• ARB/PBS would receive the funds directly from your IRA administrator, and your name will not be relayed to us, so if you plan to make a QCD; please let us know. We want to be able to thank you.
• When you donate from your IRA, you will be welcomed into the Audrée Estey Circle.
