There is no time like the present to make
a difference in a child’s life by
exposing them to the opportunities and
positive experiences camp offers.
As a donor, you have a number of options
for helping the American Camp Association
continue their endeavors to enrich the
lives of children through the camp experience:
Monetary Gifts
An outright gift of money will provide
an immediate resource for the ACA to
continue its mission. Monetary gifts
may be made in any amount at any time,
and 79 cents of every dollar given goes
directly to sending a child in need to
camp.
Securities (Stocks and Bonds)*
Gifting stocks and/or bonds to the ACA
may actually cost you less than the same
amount in a monetary gift. If the securities
have appreciated and have been held by
you for at least twelve months, they
may be deductible in an amount up to
30 percent of your adjusted gross income.
Amounts in excess of 30 percent may be
deducted on tax returns for up to five
additional years. The ACA can only accept
marketable securities.
* For highly appreciated securities, please
review Gift Annuity.
Charitable Lead Trust
This gifting technique
allows you to assign an income interest
to the ACA for a period of years or for
your lifetime, after which the remainder
passes to your heirs.
For more information on how you can help change a child's life, contact contribute@ACAcamps.org or 765-342-8456, ext. 508.
