Our growing community of AIM Allies show a deep commitment to our work by giving recurring monthly donations. We hope you will join us as an AIM Ally—whether the amount is $5 or $50 a month, it will make a big difference and help sustain our work. Donate at: actioninmontgomery.org/donate, and select the “Monthly” giving option.

Donate online at: actioninmontgomery.org/donate and select “One-time” donation and the amount. Then enter your credit card or bank account information. Alternatively, you can mail a check to: Action in Montgomery, 7710 Carroll Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912.

You can easily make your annual gift to AIM by recommending a grant to our organization through your donor-advised fund. If you need AIM’s tax ID, it is 52-2032072. Please let us know if you authorize a grant, so our team can be on the lookout for your donation.

By donating appreciated assets held longer than one year, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes that would otherwise apply if the asset were sold. Please note: It can take several weeks to process these types of gifts, even for ACH and wire transfers.

Individuals aged 70½ and older can direct up to $105,000 per year from their traditional IRAs (and $108,000 beginning January 1) to charities like AIM through QCDs. A QCD can be used to satisfy all or part of the donor’s RMD and is not considered taxable income. RMDs are mandatory for those aged 73 and above.

A beneficiary designation is one of the most efficient ways to make an estate gift and leave a legacy with AIM. You can specify individuals and charities you wish to support and designate the percentage of assets each beneficiary will receive. Common assets that allow beneficiary designations include retirement plans, investment accounts, life insurance policies, wills, trusts, and more.
