WAYS TO GIVE
Your gift helps children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
Our Supporters Make it Happen!
None of our funding comes from government grants, and only 1% comes from family event registration fees, and often those are waived with scholarships. That means we are supported almost completely by your generosity, making it possible for our REACH kids, teens, families, and adults to experience weekend getaways, mentoring, support groups, and other life-shaping services at zero or little cost to them. No one who needs REACH is excluded.
There are many ways to structure your charitable donation to REACH and we have listed several of them below.
Thank you for making our REACH a reality.

Are you 70 1/2 or older?
You can support REACH with a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA.
You must take required minimum distributions from your IRA(s) each year. The amount is calculated using tables published by the IRS.
When planning your IRA withdrawal strategy, you might consider making charitable donations to REACH through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), popularly known as the IRA charitable rollover. These distributions are usually considered ordinary income and taxed as such, unless you make a QCD.
Advantages:
- This is a quick and easy way to make a gift to your favorite charity or charities from one of your major assets.
- This satisfies all or part of your annual mandatory distribution requirement at age 70 ½ and older.
- The QCD is excluded from income so no federal tax is paid on that amount, and it also avoids the possibility that you could be moved into a higher tax bracket.
Make a QCD:
- Direct the administrator of your IRA(s) to make the charitable distribution(s) directly from your IRA(s) to REACH. You may download this sample letter to your IRA administrator: IRA-sample-letter. REACH’s tax ID number is 91-1644321.
- There are additional time sensitive qualifications. For further instructions, please contact your tax advisor.
