Williams

Annual Appeal 2008
Help Longyear meet the challenge to research, preserve, and share the history of Mary Baker Eddy.

"We cannot predict what questions future generations will ask concerning Mrs. Eddy's life, what distortions and fakes they
may have to confront and refute. But it is our privilege to preserve for anyone interested in the truth the evidence that has come
down to us."

Stephen R. Howard
Director / Curator, Longyear Museum

Charitable IRA Legislation Passed for 2008 - 2009

Great news!

The IRA Charitable Rollover has been renewed and extended for this year and next – to December 31, 2009 – so you can still take advantage of this opportunity for a 2008 gift. This provision in the tax law offers a wonderful way to support Longyear activities and the many important projects currently underway.

Guidelines for this important legislation are as follows:

  • It’s exclusively for donors who are 70 1/2  or older
  • It's a simple, one-step distribution  from your IRA directly to Longyear* 
  • Charitable IRA distributions are limited to a total of $100,000 per year
  • The gift counts toward your required  minimum distribution for the current tax year
  • Your taxable income is not affected because no taxes are due on the distribution – it goes directly to  charity
  • You can still make a gift in 2008!


To ensure that you don't miss this opportunity and to find out more, please contact John Mitchell, Director of Development, at 800.277.8943 ext. 230 or jmitchell@longyear.org. You may also read more about this legislation on our website -- www.longyear.org -- under the heading “Get Involved.”

*Note that the law states that rollover distributions must go directly to a 501(c)(3) designated charity – not to the individual – to comply.

Thank you for your continued support of Longyear’s mission and purpose!
