Hello,
Your steadfast generosity and your innate concern for others in our country who are in need has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. It’s individuals like you who have both the capability to directly impact the lives of others, and the desire to make a difference. Combining that financial ability and service-centric need with taking action makes it possible for the nonprofit organizations you support to help others in need to remain hopeful and optimistic despite whatever particular challenge they may be facing. Because we know how much you care about our country and making a difference in the lives of others, we’re hopeful that you will include Reachout America, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, on your list of nonprofits to support this new year. Based in Georgia, this national charity is devoted to bringing not only unique and life-changing experiences to children who have special needs, but also to children who are at-risk or homeless.

How to Help Financially Through, Stocks, Bonds, and Real Estate Gifts
Gifts of appreciated real estate, held long term, may entitle you to an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the donated real estate. It is also possible to make a gift of a personal residence, farm or vacation home, reserving the right to occupy it for as long as you or your spouse live. If this gift is irrevocable, you may qualify for an immediate income tax deduction. The amount of the deduction is calculated on life expectancy, therefore, the deduction will be greater if you are older at the time of the donation. Every person’s situation is different, and it is essential that you consult with your attorney for legal guidance.
Closely Held Stock
A gift of closely held stock may produce a current income tax charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock. You receive a tax benefit and the outstanding stock is returned to your business.
Bequests & Gifts Through Wills
In planning your estate, please remember that outright bequests to Reachout America, as well as certain bequests in a trust, are not subject to estate tax. Because these gifts reduce the size of your estate, they also reduce the size of your estate taxes. A bequest can take one of the following forms:
- A specific bequest of a dollar amount or of particular securities or property.
- A residuary bequest of all or a portion of your estate after the payment of specific amounts to other beneficiaries.
- A contingent bequest to take effect only in the event that the primary beneficiaries under your will die before you.
- A testamentary trust which takes the form of a life income plan, the corpus of which will be paid to Reachout America upon the death of the trusts income beneficiary.
- Often, a bequest can be arranged simply with the addition of a codicil amending your existing will.
You Can Bequeath
- The remainder or “residue” of your estate (what’s left over after your other bequests)
- Your entire estate
- A percentage of your estate
- A specific dollar amount or specific assets
- A contingent bequest that passes to Reachout America in the event your primary beneficiary predeceases you.
To include a bequest to Reachout America in your will, we suggest this simple statement: I give, devise, and bequeath to Reachout America NPO, Inc. at 6071 Queens River Drive, Mableton, Georgia 30126, the sum of ____ dollars (or ____% of my residual estate, otherwise describe the gift) for the general purposes and uses of the Organization at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Codicils To A Will

You may specify that your gift to Reachout America is for the ongoing support and continuation of the Reachout America NPO.
