Angels of the Arts
As The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center grows and expands our site and our programs, we continue to play an important role in our community and beyond as visitors come to enjoy all we have to offer.
As you think about the future, consider including the Carpinteria Arts Center in your estate plans. We have been the beneficiary of gifts from wills and trusts, and we can help facilitate the creation of charitable remainder trusts or other more structured forms of planned gifts.
The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center will be here for future generations, and estate gifts are a great way to insure a successful future for the arts in our town.
All gifts are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. You can use our secure online form to make a donation, mail in a check, or visit the gallery at 865 Linden Avenue to make your contribution. Pledges can be paid over two or three years.
You can also make a gift of appreciated securities and receive additional tax benefits, or make a contribution directly from your IRA account.
For some individuals, a gift of appreciated stock or other investment can confer larger benefits at tax time. A gift of appreciated stock can result in an income tax deduction for the full fair market value on the day you make the gift, and you can avoid paying capital gains tax that you would have to pay if you sold the stock rather than giving it away. Talk to your financial advisor or contact the The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center for more information on how you might benefit from making a gift of appreciated securities, mutual funds, or other financial instruments.
IRA Charitable Rollovers
Seniors who are at least 70 ½ years or older can make tax-free charitable distributions from an IRA to a qualified nonprofit organization like the Arts Center. Individuals may roll over up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to a qualifying charity and avoid being taxed on the amount. To make an IRA gift, please contact your IRA administrator. It is important that IRA gifts are transferred directly to a charitable account in order to reap the tax benefits.
