Give Today

IRW’s work is supported by the generosity of independent donors, foundations, and sponsors who believe in our mission and the impact of our programs. Without these incredible contributions, we would not be able to provide literacy and art programming and books to Maine children who benefit most from them.

Other Ways to Give

Planned Giving

Be recognized as a member of IRW’s planned giving program, [The Purple Crayon Society] by notifying us of a gift intention through one of the following:

  • Bequest: Leave a gift through your will or estate.
  • Retirement Plan or IRW: Make a gift through your Individual Retirement Account or 401(k) pension plan. 
  • Insurance Policy: Name IRW as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. You can receive a charitable tax deduction for the cash value of the policy on your federal tax return in the year you name IRW as the owner of the policy. The gift of the policy removes it from your estate and reduces your federal estate tax.
