Wishing you a reflective Advent Season, Joyous Christmas-Epiphany Celebration and a Happy New Year!
Year End Tax Deductible Contributions Welcomed
Your gift will enable OCL to continue to fulfill its mission of inviting Orthodox Christians to actively participate in Church Governance, Moving Toward Unity, Knowing and Exercising their duty to be part of the conciliar process that offers balance within the Church, and facing issues of Church and Culture, so that Orthodoxy is seen as an indigenous, universal and welcoming Church. This work is mainly conducted through our web sites: www.orthodoxnews.org and www.ocl.org. This year, we are in the process of distributing a DVD, Great Events of American Orthodoxy, and after January you can purchase the publication, “The Need for a Great and Holy Council in the Orthodox Christian Church.”
Your year end gift will help us reach out to more people who share your prayers for Orthodoxy Christian Unity in the Americas.
Special Year End Opportunities for those over 70 and one half years old:
Charitable donations made from your IRA accounts until December 31, 2009.
IRA owners of least 70 ½ years can make a charitable donation of up to $100,000 as part of their minimum distribution requirement, each year for 2008 and 2009 and donate it directly to a charity of their choice, tax free. For example, you can donate any amount up to $100,000 to OCL or its Endowment Fund for each year without paying any tax for your gift. Normally, you would pay both ordinary state and federal income taxes on such a gift based on your personal income tax rate. Depending on your tax bracket, this means you could save between $2,000 and $3,500 in taxes which would otherwise be deducted from your IRA account for every gift of $10,000. Such gifts are an important consideration when meeting the minimum distribution requirement for your IRA account.
For additional details on this new provision in the tax law please speak with your tax advisor.
Payment options:
· Send Check to OCL, PO Box 6954, West Palm Beach, FL 33405
· Pay by credit card (Discover Card not accepted) card #; expiration date; address with zip code.
