Alice Paul Leaders Circle


The Alice Paul Leaders Circle

"I am involved in several charities that help people-especially women- to help themselves. That's why I think the work of the Alice Paul Institute is very exciting, particularly API's programs to train young women to become leaders."

-Nan Hall, founding member of the Alice Paul Leaders Circle

 BECOME A MEMBER OF THE ALICE PAUL LEADERS CIRCLE
 Launched in June 2004, the Alice Paul Leaders Circle (APLC) was formed in response to a challenge gift offered by API Board of Trustees Chair to find 15 individuals who would each give $1,000 or more.  In 2007, the APLC has 42 members who have donated more than $100,000. You can pledge your donation now and pay in quarterly or monthly installments. However you decide to pay, your unrestricted gift of $1,000 will help to expand the Alice Paul Leadership Program into new communities as well as introduce new programming, maintain the recent restoration of Paulsdale for educational use, and enhance the ability of API's staff to carry out the organization’s mission and vision for the future.

IRA ROLLOVER EXTENDED!

If you are 70 ˝ or older (or know someone who is),
you can roll over your IRA distribution for 2013 to charity

       The “American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012” (“ATRA”) permits Individual Retirement Account (IRA) owners starting at age 70˝ to make tax-free charitable gifts from an IRA directly to eligible charities, such as the Alice Paul Institute (API), up to a total of $100,000 for the tax year 2013. 

For 2013 tax year:  After January 2013 and before January 1, 2014, the donor requests that his or her IRA plan administrator transfer funds directly to API.  For this qualified charitable distribution, the donation to API is excluded from the donor’s adjusted gross income in 2013.

By transferring your IRA distribution to API, you will become a member of the Alice Paul Leaders Circle.   

You can also help support by making API the beneficiary of your IRA. Doing so can eliminate the income tax, estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax that could otherwise consume potentially a large portion  of your retirement account before it goes to your heirs.  By making API the beneficiary of your IRA, you will become a member of the Alice Paul Legacy Society, a group of individuals who are supporting API beyond their lifetimes, enabling the organization to continue its work in developing future “Alice Pauls” in years to come.  

The information presented here is not intended as legal advice. We encourage you to consult your attorney and tax advisor to discuss how the ideas presented here may apply to your situation. 

If you are interested in knowing about other planned giving opportunities, please contact API Executive Director Lucienne Beard at 856-231-1885.
