Welcome to The Salvation Army
Eastern Michigan Division Planned Giving


Thank you for your interest in The Salvation Army. Our hope is to serve you and your family as you work through your estate planning process. Perhaps you, like many of those who have chosen to partner with us would benefit greatly from making an income gift.  


                                                          IRA ROLLOVER 2010

Are you looking for a simple, convenient way to make a gift to charity this year without dipping into your checking or savings account?  If you are over 70 1/2, you can transfer up to $100,000 from your IRA to charity in 2010 without paying any federal income tax.  Your gift can be made simply by notifying your IRA plan custodian of your intent to make a current transfer to us or another charitable organization.  And you will feel good knowing that you were able to make a simple easy gift from your IRA this year.  For more information on how to make an IRA rollover gift in 2010, please contact us.
