Ways to Give

American Repertory Ballet (ARB) is a non-profit organization that works to bring the joy, beauty, artistry, and discipline of classical and contemporary dance to New Jersey and beyond. ARB was founded in 1954 by Audrée Estey, a dancer and advocate who believed in the power of art to express what words cannot.

IRA Contributions

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.
