    This year, more than ever, you may find that time spent determining the best ways to make your charitable gifts can help you stretch your charitable dollars. Pending and proposed changes to tax laws could affect the amount that you can deduct for qualified charitable gifts beginning in 2013.

    Retirement plan assets can be a practical source from which to make gifts. Many tax and financial advisors suggest using these funds to make charitable gifts because amounts withdrawn from retirement accounts can be taxable to you and eventually to your heirs if left to them.

    For more information on year end giving to Holy Cross parish, contact the parish office at 753-3548, or the Catholic Foundation at 424-5536, or by email at lcox@evdio.org.
