Shares How He Gives from His IRA and
How You Can Too!

Now you can be a part of American history by joining me and others in honoring George Washington and the nation’s founding by ensuring the preservation of his home. Neither the federal government nor Virginia contribute to Mount Vernon, leaving this beautiful symbol of our nation in our hands. I believe our nation’s honor depends in part on our preserving the resting place of America’s Founding Father.

I know you’re as devoted to Mount Vernon as I am; so, I thought you’d like to know of a gift option that saves you money and ensures you income for life! By funding a Mount Vernon charitable gift annuity (CGA) with appreciated stock, you’ll not only get a sizable tax deduction, but you’ll also save having to pay capital-gain taxes—and create a lifelong stream of partially tax-free income.

What’s more, a new IRS ruling lets people 70½ and older buy a Mount Vernon CGA with as much as $50,000 from your IRA without paying the tax that’s ordinarily due on such distributions. Make your distribution payable directly from your IRA to the Mount Vernon Ladies Association and create a lifetime flow of income while funding Mount Vernon’s preservation.

Please join me in preserving Mount Vernon with a CGA from your IRA or other assets. Your gift will help keep George Washington’s home open for generations of American children to visit and walk in the footsteps of the Father of Our Country.
