DONATE
KEEPING COBB SENIORS CONNECTED AND INFORMED
Your contribution goes directly towards covering the expense of providing seniors with educational seminars, expos, luncheons, and our legislative sessions on behalf of Cobb County seniors.
We are a 100% volunteer non-profit senior advocacy group that is run by seniors for seniors. We have very few sponsors so we really count on donations of any amount. Your donation or sponsorship certainly matters. Thank you.
To pay by credit card please select the PAYPAL option after you complete your information on the next screen.
We also accept ZELLE, using our Zelle handle seniorcitizencouncilofcobb@gmail.com
You can also mail a check to

If you have questions on the above, please call (404) 500-8601.
ANOTHER OPTION:
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a direct transfer of funds from an IRA custodian, payable to the Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County (SCC). Any individual who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from his/her retirement accounts each year can designate part of that RMD for charitable purposes.
The donor could possibly receive a tax benefit when Federal taxes are filed since the amount of QCDs made during a year are deducted from the
gross amount of RMDs which reduces the taxable amount of RMD's reportable on tax filings.
OR:
A Corporate Matching Gift is a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations their employees and retirees make to eligible nonprofit organizations, most often dollar for dollar. As an example, a $100 donation to the SCC may be eligible to be matched by your employer, literally doubling the donation for a total of $200
Check with your Financial Advisor on these types of donations.
