SUPPORT US IN VARIOUS OTHER WAYS

The work of Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. would not be possible without the support of volunteers, partners, and donors. Contributions of all types help to reach strategic goals to continue the important work in the community for those served. Your gift will make a difference in the lives of all assisted through the restorative justice process. There are many ways to contribute to the organization. Please consider one of the following methods to support Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. Please contact us to discuss options and allow us to learn about your giving preferences.

GENERAL SUPPORT: Donations made to general support are used where they are needed most. You can use the donate button and link to our Pay Pal account for this option.

GIFT OF STOCK AND SECURITIES: You can make a gift of appreciated stocks or securities via a direct transfer to our brokerage account with the Monterey Bay Community Foundation. Your charitable deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the transfer and you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock.

IN-KIND DONATIONS: In-kind donations come in many forms and are always welcome. Donated good may include office furniture, tables, file cabinets, binders, and gift cards to office supply companies. Please contact RJP, Inc. to find out what type of donations we may need.

HONORARIUMS: Whether it is a holiday, birthday or other special day, honor your special someone on their special occasion by giving a honorarium to Restorative Justice Partners in their name. Your contribution will be acknowledged with a card to the person being honored to let them know of your gift.

MEMORIAMS: A gift in "Memory Of" is a meaningful way to pay tribute to a colleague, friend or family member and support the mission of Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. You contribution will be acknowledged with a card to the family member, friend or person you direct us to to let them know of the memorial gift.

BEQUESTS: You can create a legacy through a bequest. Our leadership team would welcome a chance to talk with you about this option. A bequest is a gift in your will or trust. Bequests can be simple and convenient. Your legacy to Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. can be a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. You can designate your bequest for general use or you can restrict its use. Communication with your family members about this option is suggested so they know of your desire.

IRA ROLLOVER: In 2015 a permanent tax provision was approved that allows IRA holders to make distributions directly to charity. This special gift option allows donors to make an immediate difference in the lives of the people we serve at RJP, while avoiding income taxes on the amount gifted.

An IRA charitable rollover is a distribution from an IRA holder who 70 ½ years or older to an eligible charitable organization. An individual may exclude up to $100,000 from his/her gross income that would have been taxable from the required distribution.

There are many benefits to the donor who donate using an IRA. They are:

Allows the donor to make a pre-tax gift to the donor’s favorite charity
Fulfills the donor’s minimum required distribution
Reduces the donor’s gross taxable income

The IRA charitable rollover is best for individuals who are non-itemizers, whose charitable deductions are maxed out, who are facing minimum distribution requirements, might be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax or who reside in states that do not allow charitable deductions. Please contact your tax expert for guidance regarding a gift via IRA rollover.

This provision only applies to traditional IRA or Roth IRA accounts not 401K or 403B or other retirement accounts. If you have one of those accounts, you would first need to roll it over into an IRA to make the distribution directly to the charity.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION FROM LIFE INSURANCE AND RETIREMENT FUNDS: Did you know that you can leave your life insurance or retirement assets to Restorative Justice Partners and your family will save on income tax.

How it works…You designate Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. as beneficiary of your life insurance policy, retirement or bank account. There’s great benefit to you as there’s no cost to you now, and it gives you the satisfaction of knowing you have provided for the work RJP does in our community. Also, you may modify your designation if your circumstances change. Gifts from your estate may be exempt from federal estate taxes.
