A charitable IRA rollover can be a great way to comply with the RMD requirement without triggering the tax liability that would occur if the RMD were paid to you.

Camp Spirit Song
Camp Spirit Song is offered in partnership with the SpiritWorks Foundation to give the gift of a camp experience to children in Province III affected by the opioid addiction of a parent or other close loved one. 2019 is the inaugural year of Camp Spirit Song, and the first camp program of its kind on the east coast, and we ask your prayers and support for our ministry this summer. Camp provides children grades 4-8 with an opportunity to meet God through:
● the support of a Christian community
● fellowship with peers who share a common experience
● time to rest and play away from the distractions of everyday life
It is our mission to offer to Camp Spirit Song at no cost to campers’ families. You can help make camp a reality for 40 campers this year by sponsoring a camper. $1,000 covers the cost of one camper, including room and board, program materials, and staff fees. Individuals, parishes, and dioceses may donate directly toward camper sponsorship. St. Andrew’s Parish in Glenwood, Maryland, has committed to sponsoring the cost of one camper.
To make or pledge a contribution toward Camp Spirit Song, contact Lisa Marie Ryder, co-Executive Director of the Claggett Center: (301) 874-5147; lmryder@claggettcenter.org.
To learn more about Camp Spirit Song, camper applications, and volunteer opportunities, contact Rita Yoe, Program Coordinator at the Claggett Center:(301) 874-5147; ryoe@claggettcenter.org.
Why Give to SpiritWorks Foundation?
Nearly two-thirds of Americans have friends or family members who have struggled with alcohol or other drug addiction. Clinical addiction treatment can be an important step to beginning recovery. However, treatment programs are often limited in their duration and only the first step in the process of recovery. Learning to cope with the daily challenges of employment, stable housing, family and social relationships, and legal issues while building a healthy life in recovery takes a long-term approach.
Your donation to SpiritWorks will leverage significant outcomes. Consider, for example, that up to 85% of incarcerated individuals have problems directly associated with drugs or alcohol abuse or have committed crimes associated with alcohol and other drugs. It costs $35,000 or more to incarcerate someone for one year with no recovery services. For a fraction of that expenditure, SpiritWorks is currently providing recovery support services to more than 25 ex-offenders who have not returned to jail or prison. They are seeking employment or holding jobs, returning to school, restoring their lives, reuniting with families, and giving back to their communities.
Any donation you can contribute to SpiritWorks Foundation is greatly appreciated. You can either make a one-time donation or a monthly recurring donation via credit card at our secure non-profit donation website. Please note, SpiritWorks Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. Your donations are tax-deductible.
