Will You be an Instrument for Good?

Music Angels Bob and Nan

Audrey's Angels enrich the lives of the elderly in small group homes through live music. The live music enrichment programming gives the seniors we serve not only a connection with a caring outside individual, but also provides neural/cognitive stimulation and auxiliary health benefits, and most importantly an hour of joy and social engagement each week.

Music Angels Kris and Sunshine Patsy

Interaction with our Music Angels helps to alleviate the loneliness and isolation felt by most of the residents we serve. The programming helps to maintain and improve language skills and group activities encourage socialization. Even for those with severe dementia, music can tap deep emotional recall.

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

Donate Directly from Your Retirement Account (IRA/401K)

If you own an Individual Retirement Account and are over age 70 and a half, you may be eligible to receive tax benefits if you transfer up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to Audrey’s Angels. The transfer may count toward fulfilling your required minimum distribution from your IRA and not be considered part of your gross income for federal tax purposes.

Simply contact the financial services company that serves as your IRA custodian and let them know that you would like to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Audrey’s Angels from your IRA.

Stock Giving

Securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are popular assets to use when making a gift to Audrey’s Angels. Making a gift of securities or mutual funds offers you the chance to support our work while realizing important benefits for yourself.

When you donate appreciated securities or mutual funds in support of our mission, you may reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.

Securities are most often used to support our work in the form of:

An outright gift. When you donate securities to Audrey’s Angels, you may receive the same income tax savings that you would if you wrote a check, but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains taxes on the transfer, which can be as high as 20%.

A transfer on death (TOD) account. By placing a TOD designation on your brokerage or investment account, that account will be paid to one or more persons or charities after your lifetime.

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

A donor-advised fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to Audrey’s Angels and other qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.

You can also create a lasting legacy by naming Audrey’s Angels the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. With a percentage, you can create a family legacy of giving by naming your loved ones as your successor to continue recommending grants to charitable organizations. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.
