MACY’S TO LAUNCH MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS THIS SEASON
Mission Every One
Macy’s is on a mission to create brighter futures with bold representation for all. They’re calling this partnership Mission Every One. Macy’s has chosen to partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters, giving in store customers the opportunity to round up on purchases up to .99 cents both in store and online to impact local BBBS Chapters Through Christmas Day!
Funds raised will help BBBS Miami Valley continue to make meaningful mentoring matches between adult volunteers and children ages 5-14 years old. BBBS Miami Valley has two Macys stores within our service area customers can shop at to impact youth mentoring locally, Macy’s Dayton Mall, and Macy’s Fairfield Commons.

MAKE A DONATION
BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIG
Standing with us to defend the potential of youth is as easy as pushing a button. No matter how little or big the amount, donating can start making a difference in the lives of young people around you.
Last year your financial support helps us provide our programs and services to 528 children in Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and Preble counties. Together, we can develop more college grads, community leaders, and entrepreneurs.
You can give conveniently through your Donor Advised Fund to Big Brothers Big Sistters Miami Valley. If you have questions please contact Anne Pfeiffer at apfeiffer@bbbsmiamivalley.org or call 937.220.6860.
OF OUR LITTLES

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS
When you make a distribution from an IRA directly to us, it counts toward your required minimum distribution for the year and avoids the 50% excise tax penalty. You'll also avoid paying income tax on the distributions.
LIFE INSURANCE
Name BBBS as a beneficiary of your new or existing life insurance policy. You will receive an immediate tax deduction of the approximate cash surrender value of the policy. All premium payments made thereafter are deductible as a charitable contribution.
SALE OF A BUSINESS
Charitable contributions can be used to reduce income tax burden from the sales of business and leave a legacy of goodwill in your community. There are multiple options for donors who are selling their business but the key is to plan their charitable gifts ahead of the sale.
GIFTS OF STOCK
Stocks, bonds, or any other securities can be transferred as gifts. If the stock has appreciated in value, the holder can avoid paying the capital gains tax by giving it as a gift.
GIFTS THAT PROVIDE INCOME
You can get an immediate income tax deduction, a guaranteed payment you can count on for life for you or a loved one, and leave a legacy that will support kids in your community forever.
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
If you make BBBS a beneficiary of your retirement account (401(k), IRA, 403(b)), it can be an easy way to make a legacy gift without modifying an estate plan.These are advantageous types of assets to leave to charity because they can be taxed heavily when left to heirs.
