President's Update: Year-end giving

Don't miss these exciting opportunities!    In less than 60 days, we'll be ringing in the new year. Can you believe it? Now is the time to consider your options for year-end giving. There is still time to double your donation! Our anonymous donor has increased this year's “Challenge Gift” to help feed those in need in Central Ohio. Donations will now be matched 100% up to $300,000 in 2017 and 2018.   Just mark your donation (new or increased funds) “Challenge Gift” and you will help feed the seniors and medically challenged in our community who are most in need. Your gift of appreciated stock can help our clients, while significant tax benefits may be available to you. Plan your meaningful legacy now! Many in our family of supporters are choosing to establish a planned charitable gift that will impact generations to come, while also realizing substantial tax benefits. To honor those who have made a planned gift, the Catherine Nelson Black Society is a significant source of ongoing legacy funding for our programs.
