New Horizons Fund
$ 20,000 funds one of our new clinics for one year
In December of 2017, we began our New Horizons initiative. Our goal was to raise support for our two newest clinics in Gidan Waya and Gusau. Our efforts were successful and we raised full support for both clinics for five years.
New contributions to the New Horizons Fund will be designated for funding future clinics.
We are grateful for any contribution of any size to the New Horizons Fund. Several of our donors have made multi-year commitments of $5,000 to $10,000 per year for five years.

IRA Charitable Rollover
Are you Over 70 ½ Years Old? The new tax law passed by Congress in 2017 will reduce the benefit of tax deductions for charitable gifts for many donors. However, there is a very good tax-saving opportunity for older people in the IRA Charitable Roll-over.
If you are over age 70 ½, you must take the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) out of your IRA every year or face IRS penalties. Funds withdrawn are then taxed as ordinary income. However, you are permitted to roll-over funds out of your IRA and make direct gifts to Kateri Medical Services, Inc. or any other legitimate charity.

However, you are permitted to roll-over funds out of your IRA and make direct gifts to Kateri Medical Services, Inc. or any other legitimate charity.
When you make a direct gift in this way, you do two things: 1) you satisfy the annual RMD requirement and 2) you keep the entire gifted amount out of your taxable income.
To do this, you must instruct you’re the financial institution managing your IRA to make a gift to Kateri Medical Services, Inc. directly from your IRA.
If you have any questions about this, please contact Rev. Tom Furrer at katericlinic@gmail.com or call (860) 212 – 6994. He will put you in touch with our broker to arrange the transfer.
