“We no longer benefit from tax deductions and the best vehicle to continue our support is contributions directly from our IRA. We have money saved and have to take a lot out to satisfy our RMD, so we are able to give Wikipedia more than we did before giving from our IRA. ”
“This is the second time that I've signed on to make a small monthly donation to Wikipedia because I find it to be an invaluable resource that I use daily. As long as I'm able, I will continue to donate what I can, for as long as I can, because Wikipedia gives real value and entertainment to inquisitive minds. Thank you for all you do.”
