Does your company provide "Matching gifts"?  If so make sure that you remember to contact your company, let them know what you pledged, and don't forget to fill out the paperwork for them to "match" your FOS gift.  It is an easy way to increase your Unit's donations!

Now is the time to turn in your Volunteer Hours to earn money for Scouting! 

If your company participates in a Volunteer Hours program "Dollars for Doers" make sure to contact your Benefits Administrator or Corporate website and submit your application soon.  You can turn your "more than - 1 hour a week" into money in the bank to support scouting in South Jersey. These are a few of the companies that offer Volunteer Involvement Programs (VIP) that provide $$$ based on the volunteer hours you give: Walmart, Starbucks, PSE&G, Verizon, TD Bank, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, J.C. Penny, Microsoft, Bloomberg, Bristol Myers Squibb, Intel, ING, Exxon/Mobil, Prudential, Morgan Stanley, Dow Jones, McGraw Hill. To find out how to take advantage of this program Call Mike Mahon at 856-327-1700 Ext. 25, or via email at mmahon@bsamail.org 

 

 

Donors may make distributions to Garden State Council, BSA from an IRA, without having to report the amount as income ("IRA Charitable rollover"). Certain requirements do apply:

• You must be at least 70½ at the time of the gift
• The distribution must come to The Garden State Council, BSA directly from your IRA administrator
• You cannot exceed $100,000 in total IRA charitable gifts for 2013
• The donated amount can count toward your required minimum distribution
• The gift must be completed by December 31, 2013

As you consider an IRA Charitable rollover gift to The Garden State Council, BSA we urge you to consult with your tax advisor. However, we are ready to help you with the process so that your charitable mission can be accomplished. For further information please contact Mike Mahon at (856) 327-1700 Ext 25 or mmahon@bsamail.org 

Another idea to consider: Name The Garden State Council, BSA as a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement accounts. This is a very easy, tax efficient way to leave a bequest to The Garden State Council, BSA without having to rewrite your will!
