“When I think about my gratitude for what’s been saved, I think of CPA. There is something for me about experiencing old buildings, about experiencing the age of a thing that stirs me up. They bring out the connectedness in us humans.”
“I give to save the stories. I give to nurture an inspirational environment in which to live.”

Stock Gifts

 Donating stock instead of cash can have many benefits for you and can be a   convenient way to support CPA.    

For audit and acknowledgement purposes, please call or write CPA with information about each gift of stock that is to be transferred. We will need your name, contact information, name of security, number of shares, approximate value and date of the transfer, and whether you prefer to remain anonymous.

Bank instructions for stock transfers can be provided by emailing us at beth.johnson@cincinnatipreservation.org.

IRA Charitable Rollovers

For individuals who are 70 ½ or older, the IRA Charitable Rollover (Qualified Charitable Distribution) is a tax-savvy way to support Cincinnati Preservation Association. If you are 72 and required to make annual withdrawals from an IRA account, these otherwise taxable distributions may satisfy your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and exclude these funds from your taxable income.

You (and your spouse) can each transfer a total of up to $100,000 annually, to charities such as Cincinnati Preservation Association, for a purpose that you choose.
