Dear Donor,
Without your generous donation, we would not be able to achieve our mission; therefore, we are glad to share this information and opportunity to maximize your magnanimous tax-deductible donation to The Oare Rover Foundation.
For the entire year of 2020, the limitation on how much of your charitable donations you can deduct against your income, no matter how much you give, has been lifted. Previously, it was a maximum of 60% for cash donations and 50% for non-cash contributions.
Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, (a law meant to address the economic fallout of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in the United States), these limitations have been removed for Federal income tax purposes. Additionally, anyone who donates up to $300, whether they itemize or not, can deduct that against other income for donations in 2020 (considered an “Above the Line” deduction).
Nonprofit organizations are facing numerous challenges in the midst of the recent public health crisis and the economic troubles it has caused. While these challenges continue, the CARES Act creates an incentive for you to increase your charitable giving.
So, don’t let this opportunity pass. Make your charitable donation to The Oare Rover Foundation today. While no one knows what the full impact of the pandemic will be, we do know that America is resilient and by helping one another, we will all persevere.

Are you holding onto property that’s failing to yield annual revenue – or worse, piling on taxes and fees each month? Rather than jumping through hoops to try to sell your unwanted property, you can enjoy generous tax deductions and a quick liquidation of assets by donating it to The Oare Rover Foundation. Your donation is a smart alternative to selling or holding onto unproductive property, and will directly contribute to a legacy of cultural preservation that will benefit Americans for generations to come.
Your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a convenient way to ensure that America's history is not lost to the world. If you support multiple organizations or want to secure a charitable deduction now but designate beneficiaries later, a DAF may work for you.
DAFs can be established with a number of entities including community foundations and charities – including The Oare Rover Foundation.
Our donor-advised fund gives you and your family the flexibility to support The Oare Rover Foundation and other charities.
With a fully deductible gift of $100,000 or more in cash, appreciated securities, or even real estate, you can create your own DAF. Next, you can recommend distributions from your fund to Preservation programs and other qualified charitable organizations on your own timeline without the pressure of the year-end rush.
DAFs invite you to involve family members in the process or give them the right to recommend distributions, encouraging them to develop their own tradition of philanthropy.
You incur none of the legal, administrative or reporting requirements that are associated with a private foundation. No administrative fees are charged if you select the internal Oare Rover investment option for your DAF. Meanwhile, the assets in your fund are invested and have the opportunity to grow tax-free.
A minimum of 5% of your fund must be distributed annually, and at least 20% of the total distributions over the life of your fund must support Preservation projects of your choosing.
The minimum distribution is $1,000. You can make additional gifts of $1,000 or more to your fund at any time.
If you are a hands-on donor, consider the flexibility and practicality of The Oare Rover Foundation's donor-advised fund.
A donor-advised fund might be the right choice for you if:
