Many employers have matching gift programs for charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match. Check with your employer to see if your donation to REACH can be matched.
Gifts of stock or other appreciated assets yield a profound benefit for the communities we serve and are often a better option for realizing the tax benefits of your giving. Please contact the REACH Office at info@reachforuganda.org or 703-879-6034 when making a gift of securities to ensure proper acknowledgment. Our brokerage account is with Vanguard.

If you are 70 1/2-years-old or older and have a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), an IRA rollover is a savvy way to make a gift and support REACH. IRA charitable rollovers give you the opportunity to transfer up to $100,000 each year without it being treated as taxable income. For your gift to qualify:
- You must be 70 ½ or older at the time of your gift.
- The transfer must go directly from your IRA to REACH for Uganda.
- Your total annual IRA gift(s) cannot exceed $100,000.
- Your gift must be made to REACH by December 31.
- Your gift must be outright. IRA Charitable Rollover gifts to donor-advised funds or life-income vehicles, such as charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts, are not allowed.
Please contact your IRA Administrator to ensure that all necessary steps are completed to finalize your charitable distribution. We also encourage you to consult with your tax advisor when considering this type of gift.
If you have a donor advised fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to REACH directly from your fund (as long as your fund’s sponsoring organization is participating) through this link.
A bequest involves providing a gift to REACH for Uganda in your will and is one of the simplest ways to support the organization’s future.
To leave a bequest to REACH for Uganda, please use the following language: “I give, devise, and bequeath to REACH for Uganda (EIN 20-2089837) located at P.O. Box 101383, Arlington VA 22210.”
Changing your beneficiary designation to include REACH for Uganda is as simple as filling out a beneficiary form from your plan provider. You may receive significant tax savings by naming a charity as a beneficiary of your retirement plan rather than a non-charity.
