The Gift that Gives Twice!

Nov 28, 2016

It’s that time of year when we all think about giving gifts to those who are important to us.  It’s also a time when we consider charitable giving.  Better yet are gifts that give twice. IAGLR is an official 501(c)(3), which means that contributions to IAGLR are tax-deductible. IAGLR maintains an Endowment Fund for special projects and as a “rainy day” fund to cover emergency expenses.  We also sponsor several annual awards and student scholarships.   Perhaps you can help IAGLR while minimizing your taxable liabilities?  We appreciate the many ways you support the Association!  Thank you!
