Types of Gifts Accepted

Receiving monthly gifts allows the RIPEA/William R. Murphy Foundation to plan our budget by knowing how much we can depend on receiving. Becoming a monthly contributor will allow us to make sure we can help as many RIPEA members as possible. Scheduling a recurring gift can also help you fit giving into your monthly budget and perhaps even see that doing so allows you to give more than you could at one time.

More individuals are making stock gifts, which provide income tax deductions for the full value of the gift while avoiding the potential tax on capital gains. The RIPEA/William R. Murphy Foundation receives the full stock value to support our mission. Please contact Aaron Tellez, Engagement & Development Manager at aaron@ripea.org for assistance in transferring your appreciated assets today including instructions you can share directly with your broker.  

Thousands of companies, small and large, have matching gift programs which double or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions made by their employees.

If you know your company has a matching gift program, you can obtain a matching gift form from your personnel office or matching gift coordinator. Once you fill it out completely, send it along with your contribution to:

RIPEA/William R.Murphy Foundation
Attn: Development Department
2415 Directors Row, Suite M
Indianapolis, IN 46241

We will complete the form and submit it to your employer. It’s as easy as that!

With questions, please contact ripea@ripea.org

If you’re 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, you can make a meaningful difference for RIPEA grantees by donating directly from your IRA. This type of gift—called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income. For IRA holders age 72 or older, taking an RMD is required each year. When you give directly to RIPEA/William R. Murphy Foundation, you avoid those taxes and help RIPEA members and their families. 

Reach out to aaron@ripea.org to get started.
