May your holidays be merry and bright! We hope the traditions you share with family and friends create many memories.
Take time to cozy up with a good book! Sipping hot chocolate soothes the soul.
When it’s snowing, try to catch a snowflake on your tongue. Then giggle and laugh! Doing this with a young child is extra rewarding.
We look forward to the new year as we continue our mission. The mission of ADSOEF is to provide funding to serve charitable purposes relating to professional and personal growth of educators and educational excellence.
Peace and joy,
ADSOEF Board of Directors

Year-End is a Time for Giving
Some considerations to ponder and possibly talk about with your tax professional.
A cash contribution to ADSOEF shows your support for the future of education and is greatly appreciated. Each individual makes decisions about personal giving to charitable organizations. Our educational foundation is a private non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Additionally, a philanthropic gift to ADSOEF qualifies for a charitable income tax deduction if you itemize. To the fullest extent permitted by law.
If you take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA or 403(b), you may wish to check with your tax professional about donating a portion as a “qualified charitable distribution”. With a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), a check goes directly from the investment to the charity you select. You do not show this as income, thus, are not taxed on the amount.
Check with your tax professional to determine a possible tax benefit of a charitable gift.
