Ways to Give

Ways to Give

The Parkinson Association of the Carolinas (PAC) relies upon the financial support of its individual donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations in order to meet our mission “to serve as a resource for individuals and their families affected by Parkinson’s disease in the Carolinas, through education, community outreach, and direct support.”

Financial contributions and other donations of gifts help PAC to support people with Parkinson’s disease throughout North and South Carolina so that they can remain independent and stay active in the community until a cure is found.

There are many options and creative ways in which you can financially assist PAC in meeting our mission. We encourage you to talk with your financial planner and/or call us at 980-245-2786 to discuss any opportunities you are considering.

Give From Your IRA

If you are older than 70.5 and have an IRA account, you can make a transfer directly from your IRA to the Parkinson Association of the Carolinas without paying taxes on the transfer. This type of transaction is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). If you are older than 73, a QCD to the Parkinson Association of the Carolinas will count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Ask your IRA fiduciary about their process for Qualified Charitable Distributions.
