1616 Latimer Fund – Building on a Legacy Campaign

WAYS TO GIVE 

Your support matters!

​

Members and friends of the Cosmopolitan Club of Philadelphia can show their commitment to the future of the Club with a tax-deductible contribution to 1616 Latimer Fund’s “Building on a Legacy Campaign.”  There are many opportunities to show your support.

​

A three-year pledge to the campaign – this is the method most campaign supporters have chosen to make a significant impact on the largest fundraising campaign in the history of the Cosmopolitan Club.

​

Join the 1616 Society - For those who wish their gift to have maximum impact, we invite participation in the 1616 Society, which is based on a pledge of at least $16,160 payable over three years.

​

The generosity and vision of 1616 Society members exemplify our founders’ bold commitment to diverse, cosmopolitan perspectives. This legacy is embodied in the 1616 Latimer building as well as by the stimulating programs that have enriched the women who have gathered there for nearly 100 years.

​

1616 Society members participate in these benefits:

​

  • Acknowledgement on the 1616 Latimer Fund website

  • Listing on a donor plaque at 1616 Latimer Street

  • Invitation to an annual 1616 Society program

  • Annual report on capital projects and fundraising progress

  • Custom-designed 1616 Society token of appreciation
     

In addition to making gifts to the campaign electronically through our website (connect here) or in cash in any amount, a donor may wish to consider the following:

​

  • Gifts of Appreciated Marketable Securities
    A gift of appreciated marketable securities owned longer than one year may be deducted for federal income tax purposes at full fair market value with no tax imposed on the appreciation.

​

  • Gifts from Retirement Accounts
    For a donor aged at least 70 ½ who is required to make minimum annual withdrawals from their qualified  IRA account, any portion of such minimum withdrawal amount (but not exceeding a total of $100,000 per year to all charities) may be satisfied by a payment directly from the IRA to 1616 Latimer Fund without such payment being treated as taxable income to the donor for federal purposes.

​

  • Grants from a Donor Advised Fund or from a Private Foundation
    1616 Latimer Fund is qualified to receive grants from any Donor Advised Fund or Private Foundation.
