More Ways to Make A Difference
Thank you for your interest in learning how you can help make a difference in reducing the free-roaming cat population. The Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that relies on donations and the efforts of volunteers to maintain free and low cost spay/neuter surgeries.

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION
If you have an IRA and are at least age 70 ½, a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can give you a great way to transfer up to $100,000 to charities such as FCSNP tax-free every year.
Normally, distributions from a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA) are taxable when received, according to the IRS website. With a QCD, however, these distributions become tax-free as long as they’re paid directly from the IRA to an eligible charitable organization.
And if you’re at least 72, QCDs count toward your required minimum distribution for the year.
Visit irs.gov for more detailed information, and contact your IRA trustee soon if you’d like to set up a QCD before the end of the year.
