Year-End Charitable Giving: Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum
By Carly Russell
As the year comes to a close, it is the perfect time to reflect on the joy and impact that charitable giving can bring. Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum needs your support.
The Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum is not just a place to admire cars; it is also a hub of community engagement and education. By supporting our museum, you are not only preserving our classic car culture for future generations, but also investing in the cultural heritage of our community.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider making a year-end charitable donation to the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum:
- Fund Our Construction: The museum has many outstanding projects to complete at an expense in excess of $5 Million Dollars. Your donations will help bring our 50,000-square-foot space to completion, including the build-out of our new museum lobby, gift shop, welcome center, restrooms, exhibits, education center, event center, and more. All construction funds are spent with local contractors, reinvesting your donation into our local economy.
- Community Engagement: The Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum is more than just a collection of cars; it actively engages with the community through various programs and events. From our kid’s activities to car shows, the museum provides opportunities for people of all ages to learn, connect, and be inspired. Your donation will directly support these initiatives and help create memorable visitor experiences.
- Supporting Local Economy: Charitable giving to the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum has a positive ripple effect on the local economy. Our museum attracts tourists and car enthusiasts from near and far, contributing to the growth of local businesses, restaurants, and hotels. By donating, you are not only supporting the museum but also fostering economic development in the community.
- Tax Deductibility: Donations made to the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. As you plan your year-end finances, consider the benefits of making a charitable contribution that not only brings joy, but also provides potential tax advantages.
- Satisfy IRA requirements: For those 70 1/2 or older, the IRS allows a QCD (Qualified Charitable Distribution) from your IRA to a nonprofit organization. You can donate up to $100,000 yearly to satisfy your required minimum distribution and avoid taxable income. Giving from your IRA is easy.
