The Carmel Foundation ART SHOW! Last year, artists of the Foundation wowed fellow members and the public with their amazing array of art.

A Reception for the artists will be held from 6:00pm to 7:30pm on Friday the 17. The Carmel Foundation is very proud of its members and asks that you join us in support the arts created by our members. |

| Financially Savvy Ways to Renew Your Membership |
Appreciated Stock: Gifts of appreciated stock promise big tax savings! When you make a charitable donation of appreciated assets, like stock, that have been held more than a year, you avoid capital-gains tax and generate a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of transfer. Depreciated Stock: In this market, consider selling your depreciated stock first and giving the proceeds to the Foundation to reap double benefits: Use the loss on the sale of the stock to offset other capital gain, and your cash gift generates a tax-saving charitable deduction. Transfer funds to our organization from your IRA: Taxpayers 70½ and older are required to make annual distributions from their retirement accounts. You can transfer up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to our organization this year without those funds being treated as a taxable distribution to you. For more information, please contact Linda J. Lee at lindal@carmelfoundation.org. or 624.1588 x52. |
