Be The One™ to give BELONGING through a gift of stock. IRA Charitable Rollover

If you are 70-½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Common Ground Society through an IRA Charitable Rollover (also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution).
The option enables you to support inclusion and BELONGING while potentially reducing your taxable income, and it can count towards your required minimum distribution.
