Your gift to NCR sustains the values that inspired the founders of NCR 60 years ago to use the tools of journalism to inform readers about the life of the church in the world. NCR was born from a desire for a lay-led, independent publication. By giving to NCR, your voice becomes part of the NCR mission, and we are grateful to have you with us on this journey.

Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account. DAFs are often compared to a 401(k) for retirement savings or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for healthcare expenses.
Donors who have donor-advised funds can recommend a cash gift be sent to NCR by contacting their DAF provider. NCR's tax-ID number is 43-0815211. Gifts can be sent to NCR, 115 E. Armour Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64111.
IRA Charitable Distribution
Donors who are 70 ½ and older can donate to NCR through their IRA. U.S. tax law allows up to $100,000 of a required minimum distribution to be transferred to an eligible charity, thus reducing the donor’s tax burden from the distribution.
To donate through your IRA, contact the financial institution that manages your account and request the transfer. Provide the institution with NCR’s tax ID number: 43-0815211.
Please call the Development Department at (816) 968-2233 or email giving@ncronline.org to let us know the gift is coming.
