Donating to Senior Village at SaddleBrooke, a Neighbors Helping Neighbors 501©(3) organization, offers several compelling reasons beyond the immediate impact on the community. Here are three key reasons why supporting this cause is good for your neighbors and good for you:
Firstly, donating to Senior Village can provide significant tax advantages. Arizona residents can benefit from the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, which allows individuals to receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against their state taxes for donations made to qualifying charitable organizations like Senior Village. This credit can reduce your state tax liability, effectively making your donation cost less out of pocket.
Secondly, donations made with a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from a retirement account can be tax exempt. By directing your RMD to Senior Village, you can fulfill your distribution requirement while potentially avoiding taxable income, thus maximizing the impact of your donation.
Thirdly, every donation, regardless of size, makes a meaningful impact. Whether you contribute a little or a lot, your support helps Senior Village provide essential services and programs to seniors in need, fostering a sense of community and support that is invaluable.
In the words of J.R. Miller, “Nothing else in life is such a maker of joy and cheer as the privilege of doing good.” Giving and helping not only benefits those in need but also brings a sense of fulfillment and happiness to the giver. By supporting Senior Village at SaddleBrooke, you’re not just making a financial contribution; you’re enriching lives and strengthening the bonds of compassion within our community.
