Supporting the Sky Soldiers Foundation and honoring heroes through the 173d Airborne Association's Gold Star Fund.
The Sky Soldiers Foundation is honored to announce a generous contribution from Association member James Gore. James donated $15,000 to our Foundation, with the funds equally divided among our Scholarship Fund, General Activities Fund, and the Gold Star Program. Even more impactful, his employer matched the donation with an additional $15,000, bringing the total gift to $30,000. This increased the amount being added to each fund to $10,000.
Because the Gold Star Program is administered directly by the Association, we will transfer $10,000 to the 173d Airborne Association to support their ongoing Gold Star efforts.
We extend our deepest gratitude to James for his remarkable generosity. His gift, combined with his employer’s matching program, highlights how Association members can maximize the impact of their support. Matching donations are a powerful way to ensure that contributions go even further in honoring our mission and assisting our Sky Soldier community.
Donating directly from your traditional IRA or retirement plan fund may be tax exempt
One can be more generous doing a Qualified Charitable Distribution directly from your Traditional IRA or retirement plan/fund to a non-profit, amount is exempt from taxes and reduces you taxable income – consult with your bank, tax or investment advisor on the process and impact on your finances.
