Gifts of Stock
Exploit the true potential of your investment portfolio by donating appreciated stocks to North Star Reach. Not only does your gift power impactful programming, but it also unlocks valuable tax benefits for you. Please contact J.J. Lewis, CEO, at either (734) 680-8744 or jj@northstarreach.org to receive broker instructions.
IRA Charitable Distribution
A Qualified Distribution (QCD), also known as an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift, is a direct transfer of funds from an individual’s IRA account to a qualified charity. Individuals age 70½ or older can make distributions from their IRA directly to charity and avoid income tax. A QCD is one of the most tax-efficient ways for donors older than 70 ½ to make charitable gifts.
Please consult your financial advisor or other professional to determine if an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift is right for you.

Planned Gifts
North Star Reach will work with you and your estate planner to design a planned gift that meets your short- and long-term financial goals and enroll you into our Ember Society. Planned gifts include, but are not limited to, cash, bonds, stock securities, personal property, retirement plan assets and insurance policies. Please contact J.J. Lewis, CEO, at either (734) 680-8744 or jj@northstarreach.org to learn more.
The gift of life insurance can make a remarkable difference for a relatively small dollar investment in premium payments by you during your lifetime. North Star Reach can be named as owner of the policy and as such the premiums paid qualify as a tax deductible gift or an existing policy can name North Star Reach as the beneficiary. Benefits paid from such policies not only generate a substantial gift to North Star Reach, but are not taxable as a part of your estate.
