NSAP Endowment Fund
At the end of July 2023, we opened an endowment fund through Thrivent Charitable Impact & Investing, and a local, anonymous donor is offering to match up to $50,000 of contributions through November 30, 2024. We have already matched $25,000 and we welcome you to join in supporting NSAP during our second phase of raising an additional $25,000 by contributing to our Endowment Fund.
We have become a one-stop-shop for aging services and support in the heart of the North Shore. We coordinate assisted transportation and Meals on Wheels deliveries, offer home care, caregiver support and care navigation services, provide access to a wealth of aging resources, and host weekly and monthly social activities at our building that aim to improve mental health and reduce isolation. Last year, we served nearly 500 older adults!
If you'd like to contribute, please drop-off or mail your check to the address above and please indicate in the memo that it is for the endowment fund. Please reach out to Kelly Looby, Executive Director, at 218-226-3635 or email endowment@nsapartners.org to get in touch with a committee member.

The Partners is a very beneficial part of our community. The many services provided make life so much better and pleasant for the elders. I especially appreciate having my income taxes done and getting legal advice [offered through Justice North]. Good coffee here too!

Legacy Giving
A planned gift is a flexible and creative way to strengthen North Shore Area Partners and our mission while honoring your lifetime values and meeting your personal, family or financial goals. Below are some options to consider for a planned gift. Some offer immediate income tax deductions, while others allow your heirs to minimize estate or gift taxes. We encourage you to also discuss ideas with your financial advisor.

IRA Rollover Benefit: Taxpayers age 70.5 and older are required to make annual distributions from IRAs, which are then included in the taxpayers’ adjusted gross income (AGI) and subject to taxes. The IRA Charitable Rollover permits those taxpayers to donate up to $100,000 from their Traditional or Roth IRAs, directly to charitable nonprofits without counting them as part of their AGI and, consequently, without paying taxes on them. Your IRA provider will have the form you need.

Estate Planning: There are a number of ways to include North Shore Area Partners in your estate plan. Here is some sample language you can present to your attorney:
