DONATIONS

This page provides an example of how a donation page might be set up. Some applications have donations pages that are simpler to set up, but less complete and less formatted. You should choose whichever works best for your Village.

By giving to Template Village you are helping to make a difference in the lives of many of our communities older residents. Your donation will provide the resources we need to maintain and expand our services, programs, and initiatives.

We have two distinct giving opportunities. General Purpose Fund donations support the organization’s operating expenditures and are allocated to areas of greatest need. Our Reduced-Fee Membership Fund provides subsidized memberships to low- and moderate-income seniors.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Contributions are tax deductible in accordance with applicable law.

Double Your Donation
Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Ask your company if they have such a program. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift!

Stock
You can also donate stock. For details, please send an email message to treasurer@villagetemplate.org. Include your name and contact number. Our treasurer will contact you to provide instructions for the stock transfer. Note: If you are older than 70½, check with your tax adviser about the tax advantages of making a donation of cash or stock directly from an IRA account.

IRA Charitable Rollover Gift
If you are older than 70½, check with your tax adviser about the tax advantages of making a donation of cash or stock directly from an IRA account. This distribution counts toward satisfying your required minimum distribution, but can be made even if you've already taken your minimum distribution.

Gift to Honor, Remember, and Celebrate
A donation to Template Village is a thoughtful way to honor or remember someone who has made an impact on your life or to celebrate a special event such as a birthday or anniversary. Once your gift is received, we will promptly acknowledge it by sending a card to the honoree or family you designate.

Planned Giving
With a planned gift, you can combine your desire to give to charity with your overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals. Your planned gift gives you a special connection with Template Village for now and for years to come. Talk to your estate planning adviser about how to include us as a beneficiary in your will.

Always consult your own advisers before making any gift that has tax implications, particularly where state income tax laws differ from federal law as they do in many states.
