As an established charity, Ronald McDonald Houses of Tampa Bay have developed a number of ways to show your compassion for these families in need.
If you’re like many caring Ronald McDonald House Tampa Bay supporters, you may wish to do more to help families stay by their sick child’s side into the future. If this sounds like you, then a gift in your will, trust or other estate plans could be the right choice.
With a gift in your will, you can create an enduring legacy of uplifting kids and their families for generations to come – without affecting your current finances. This way to give is simple, flexible, and incredibly impactful. You can learn more about your options or request more information on our website here.
Have you already remembered Ronald McDonald House Tampa Bay in your estate plans? If so, please let us know by filling out this form. Telling us about your generous plans helps to ensure your gift is used as you intend and allows us to welcome you into our Legacy Society. Thank you!
Stock or securities gifts go toward the same great cause, our children and families, but carry extra benefits not associated with gifts made by check, cash, or credit card. You avoid capital gains tax, receive credit for the full fair market value of the shares (even though the cost to you is the original purchase price), and your charitable deduction is based on the full fair market value of the shares on the date the gift is made. For more information and instructions on how to donate stock to RMHC Tampa Bay, please contact Lisa Suprenand, CEO at 727.620.7201
If you’re 70 ½ or older, then making a gift from your IRA may be the most beneficial way to support our mission. Called an IRA Charitable Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), this way to give allows you to make a significant difference for our families while also saving on taxes.
Also, if you have a required minimum distribution (RMD), then your gift could satisfy that requirement. Simply contact your account custodian to request the direct transfer using the following information:
Legal Name: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tampa Bay Inc.
Address: 35 Columbia Drive Tampa, FL 33606
Federal Tax ID#: 59-1835985
