 Amazon Relief has
been approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. No administrative costs come out of your donation to Amazon Relief. Everything goes to those in need. Donations to Amazon Relief can be sent to: Amazon Relief Credit Card Payments Donations can be made on your Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover card. To do this, you can call (616) 453-9104 or write us with the following information: your name and address, the amount of your donation, the type of credit card you want to use (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), the credit card number, and the credit card expiration date. Securities and Real Estate You can donate stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate to Amazon Relief. These types of donations may have certain tax benefits for a donor. Normally when you sell appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate, a capital gains tax is due. However, you may be able to avoid this tax and obtain a tax deduction for the full value of the property by donating it to Amazon Relief. Life Insurance When you name Amazon Relief as owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy you may be able to receive a tax deduction for the value of the policy. Alternately, you can name Amazon Relief as a secondary beneficiary for a life insurance policy. For example, you may wish to provide for a surviving spouse. However, if your spouse predeceases you, then Amazon Relief would receive the proceeds.
Beneficiary of Your Will Amazon Relief can be named as a beneficiary in your Will. It can be given a designated amount, or a percentage of your estate, or part or all of the residue of your estate. All donations made to Amazon Relief are deductible from your estate for Federal Estate Tax purposes. Questions? Contact Jim Flickinger at (616) 453-9104
