Every Gift Counts!

In December, your gift counts twice!

The Alpern Family Foundation will match all gifts to our annual campaign dollar-for-dollar in the month of December up to a total of $20,000.

80% of our revenue goes to direct program expenses, while only 20% goes to all overhead, administration and fundraising. We work hard to make sure that our resources provide community programming as efficiently and effectively as possible. But since our reopening, expenses have sky-rocketed while revenue has been slow to recover.

Please be here for us today, so we can be here for you tomorrow.

We can also accept gifts of stock. Click Here for details.

If you already made your annual gift, thank you so much. Please consider sharing this email with a friend.

Thanks again from all of us at the Cinema Arts Centre.

"IRA charitable rollover offers tax

"The IRA Charitable Rollover allows individuals who are 70 1/2 years old to donate up to $100,000 to charitable organizations directly from their IRA, without that donation being counted as taxable income when it is withdrawn. To qualify, contributions must come from a traditional IRA or Roth IRA, and they must be made directly to a qualified charitable organization. Additionally, the donor may not receive goods or services in exchange for the donation, and they must retain a receipt from each charity to which a donation is made."
