Ways to Give

Aldersbridge Communities is a local nonprofit, nondenominational, and inclusive provider of long-term care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living and independent living services for seniors. We operate Linn Health & Rehabilitation and Winslow Gardens (both in East Providence); Arbor Hill (Providence); and St. Germain Assisted Living (Woonsocket).

Originally established as United Methodist Elder Care in 1971, Aldersbridge Communities relies on the generosity of donors, sponsors, grants and other funding sources to provide high quality, low cost housing and healthcare for older adults, many of whom are of modest means. Our mission is to provide a safe place for our residents to live in comfort, dignity and with purpose.

In addition to the capital needs to maintain our four locations, throughout Rhode Island, funding is needed to support programs that enrich our residents’ lives. These programs include activities, special outings, art, music, drama, and entertainment. In addition, residents can apply to have their lifelong dream fulfilled through ElderVentures, a unique wish granting program of Aldersbridge Communities. All wishes are funded through donations.

Aldersbridge Communities is a 501(c)(3) organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

The new Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed by Congress recently, offers 3 charitable giving deduction opportunities for donors:

1. Universal Charitable Donation: Whether you itemize or not, this provides for a deduction of up to $300 in cash. If you make a donation to Aldersbridge Communities in the year 2020 or after, you will not have to pay taxes on it. Gifts made are eligible for above-the-line-deduction on your tax return, in addition to the standard deduction.

2. Cash Contribution Caps Lifted: Donors who itemize can give more as a percentage of their adjusted gross income and still benefit from a tax deduction. The percentage limitations for cash gifts are relaxed/suspended, so 100% of your AGI can be deducted for 2020.

3. RMDs Suspended: Required minimum distributions (RMDs) from qualified retirement plans, including IRAs, are suspended. There will no longer be a $100,000 limit on the amount allowed to transfer to charity from your IRA. You can sell assets (above the amount of RMD) and distribute/donate to a charity like ours in cash – and realize an offsetting income tax deduction for the full amount.
