More Ways to Support the Battleship
Corporate Sponsor
Become a Corporate Sponsor
The Corporate Sponsors program affords the Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial an opportunity to extend educational support throughout the region by helping underwrite free admission for underprivileged school children, providing access to a historical attraction for those without such opportunities. In addition, your company’s support will help us sustain our ongoing maintenance, restoration, preservation and education programs.
Charitable Gifting
CHARITABLE GIFTING, RMD’S AND QCD’S
Many friends of the Battleship want to help preserve this historic ship for future generations.
If you’re 73 or older and have an IRA, the IRS requires you to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) each year. You can donate part or all of your RMD directly to the Battleship New Jersey as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
A QCD can lower your taxable income, reduce the portion of Social Security subject to tax, and may even lower your Medicare premiums—all while supporting the Battleship. (Note: QCDs from Roth IRAs offer no tax benefit.)
