Give From Your IRA
See your philanthropy at work during your lifetime by giving to NRPA from your IRA. You must be 70½ or older at the time of the gift. You can donate up to $100,000 per year from your traditional IRA, $100,000 each for married couples for a total of $200,000, and avoid taxes on your withdrawal. If you are 72 and older, a donation from your IRA can count towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) in the year in which you made the gift. The RMD requirement was waived in the year 2020 as part of the CARES Act in response to COVID-19. Please discuss this and other advanced giving options with your tax advisor. Contact your IRA custodian to complete your donation to NRPA.
Estate Gifts
Ensure the essential services and work of park and recreation professionals continue for generations to come by including a gift to NRPA in your will, trust, or as a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement or life insurance plan. For more information contact Nury Márquez at (703) 858-2163 or at nmarquez@nrpa.org.
Gifts Through a Donor-Advised Fund
If you already benefit from donor-advised funds, you can easily support NRPA with a donation through your donor-advised fund.
Tribute Gifts
Make a gift to support the essential services of park and recreation professionals in memory or honor of someone special or to celebrate an important occasion, such as a birthday, wedding, or holiday.
Matching Gifts
Many employers will match their employees’ contributions to NRPA which can double or even triple the impact of your gift. Request a matching gift from your HR department at the time you make your gift.
