Support

Your support makes a difference in the lives of our less fortunate neighbors.

If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or other event or if you wish to express condolences to a friend or loved one, please consider a gift to the foundation in the person’s name.

Ultimately, giving to charity is a personal decision that can be motivated by a variety of factors, all of which contribute to the betterment of society and the well-being of individuals and communities. By giving to the Frenchman’s Reserve Charitable Foundation, you can leverage your personal giving by aggregating your contribution with others to provide a more meaningful impact. In addition, you can be sure that the charities receiving support have been thoroughly vetted and are devoted to supporting our local community.

Not only do we offer fast and flexible ways to give, but as a 501(c)(3) charity your contributions may qualify for tax deductions as permitted by applicable laws.

For taxpayers over the age of 72, Congress has voted to allow an exclusion from income of up to $100,000 per person, per year for Individual Retirement Account (IRA) distributions given directly to charities. These distributions count towards your Required Minimum Distribution and the amount is not taxable. (Please check with your financial advisor or accountant.)
