SUMMARY:Year End Giving Campaign
DESCRIPTION:At Some Point…\n…We all need a helping hand. \nYour gift makes it possible. \nNo one should have their life overshadowed by fear or despair. Your gift will make a direct impact where it is needed most. \nAs the year winds down\, we want to remind you that a tax-smart gift to NAMI CCNS may also reduce your taxable income when you file for 2025 — if made before December 31. \nAccording to the IRS\, people over age 70.5 can contribute $108\,000 to charity via the qualified charitable distribution\, or QCD\, in 2025. That’s up from $105\,000 in 2024. Please contact a tax professional for more information. \nWe all could use a helping hand sometimes. Let yours be the one that helps continue to provide free mental health support for those who need it.
