Ways to Give
A gift in your will: Your gift left through your estate will ensure that your legacy strengthens MERIP’s work. Here is some sample language for your will:
I hereby give ___________________* to the Middle East Research and Information Project (MERIP), a registered 501(c)(3) organization, to support the objects and purposes of the organization.
Qualified charitable distributions: You can give directly from your IRA, stock portfolio, or through a donor-advised fund (DAF). If you are over 70.5 years of age, you can donate up to $100,000 tax-free annually from your IRA account.
Gifts of stocks and mutual funds: Gifts of publicly traded securities that have appreciated in value allow you to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a tax deduction. MERIP sells the stock without paying taxes on the gain. Access our account and donate stocks at the button below:
MERIP strongly recommends that you discuss these options with a registered financial advisor. To receive more information about any of these options or to coordinate your planned giving, please contact our executive director Mandy Terc (mandyterc@merip.org). Thank you for your interest in supporting MERIP’s future.
