Your Support Matters!

As the days get shorter and as the holidays loom larger, we can’t let the year draw to a close without thanking you for your continued support. That support comes in many forms – attending activities, contributing to special appeals, volunteering at events, or simply by continuing to celebrate Swedish traditions. One of the growing challenges for not for profits has been the continuing rise in the cost of goods and services. For that reason, we are asking you to please consider a year-end contribution to the Swedish Historical Society.

Despite our efforts to hold down expenses, the cost of doing business just continues to grow, and your donation in any amount to offset those increases will help. We thank you in advance for any support you can give to Swedish Historical Society.

WAYS TO GIVE There are many ways to give including Cash, Check, Credit or Debit Card, or Qualified Charitable Distribution. Anyone holding an IRA account is required to take an annual minimum distribution upon reaching age 72. That distribution is fully taxable as income. Another option is to donate that distribution (or a portion of it) directly to a qualified charitable organization and avoid paying taxes on any funds donated.

Consider contacting your investment manager today and request that your “Qualified Charitable Donation” be made directly to the Swedish Historical Society, 404 S. Third Street, Rockford, IL 61104. Request that your gift be identified with your name, address, and your intention to use it as a 2024 IRA QCD.

We thank you for your gift in any amount – you can make a difference! 
Tack så mycket!
