The Annual Appeal for Orchard House

November 2007


To our “middle-aged” friends (70-1/2 or older):

PROVIDE A MUTUAL BENEFIT
FOR YOURSELF AND ORCHARD HOUSE!

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 permits donors age 70-1/2 or older to make charitable gifts up to $100,000 using funds from a Traditional or Roth IRA to a 501(c)(3) non-profit like Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House. Congress is giving you a small window of opportunity to complete a tax-free IRA transfer -- this one-time allowance ends December 31, 2007!

You have a unique opportunity to make a tremendous difference to Orchard House and provide our visitors from around the world -- as well as students and residents from ‘round the corner -- with unforgettable memories of their time spent at one of America’s most beloved historic treasures. After death, IRA accounts are subject to up to 79% taxes ... To whom would you rather give your hard-earned money?

If you are age 70-1/2 or older and wish to take advantage of this one-time charity allowance for tax-free donations from your IRA, speak with your financial advisor or contact Orchard House Executive Director Jan Turnquist at 508.320.4240, 978.369.4118 x102, or janturnquist@juno.com. Thank you in advance for considering this once-in-a-lifetime offer!
