St. Nicholas, the bishop of Myra in modern day Turkey, was an early priest in the Christian Church, he died around 342 AD. Legends that surround Nicholas tell of his love for God and neighbor, especially the poor. He became known as the symbol of anonymous gift giving.
St. Nicholas Day is traditionally celebrated on December 6th, so polish your shoes, or you may only receive coal this year.

Make a Tax-Free Gift from Your IRA

Did you know?
If you’re at least 59 and 1/2 or older, you can take a distribution from your IRA and then make a gift without penalty.  If you itemize your deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the amount of your gift.
If you’re 70 and ½ or older, you can give an amount up to $100,000 each year from your IRA directly to a qualified charitable institution without having to pay income taxes on your gift.
No matter your age, you can designate Lake of the Isles as the beneficiary of all or a percentage of your IRA.  As a tax-exempt organization, we receive your gift tax-free.
