An opportunity to save on taxes

Good news: some of our elder supporters may be able to reduce their taxable income for 2013.

Individuals 70 ½ years or older who are required to withdraw a minimum distribution from their IRA can instead instruct their financial manager to make a distribution directly to KNOM, thus reducing taxable income. (Be sure to check with your accountant to see if your gift would qualify.)

The Tax ID number for KNOM, a 501(c)(3) charity, is 27-0518406. If interested, please notify our business department so we may issue a proper receipt for your direct IRA distribution; email business@knom.org or call 907-443-5221. We’ll be happy to help!
