Dimes, Dividends & Deductions

Remarkable benefits for you, your family, and charity from the small dividends in your life

Fundraising in America began with the idea that small donations—the dimes in the pockets of the average American—could add up into something substantial. The March of Dimes paid for the research that led to the cure for the disease of polio with those dimes.

What if the relatively small dividends you receive on your investments could turn into something just as meaningful? What if you could turn those dividends into a donation to the charity of your choice…and save dramatically on your taxes, both now and in the future?

Now you can discover an IRS-approved method that gives you the best of all worlds: more retirement income for you, a bigger bequest to your children and grandchildren, and a means of turning dividends into a meaningful donation to the charities you love.

Your nest egg might consist of a stock and bond portfolio, real estate, insurance, or a combination of those assets. You’ve worked hard to grow those investments. Now it’s time for your investments to work even harder for you!

Our Dimes, Dividends and Deductions DVD will show you how you can continue to achieve all of your investment goals…while making an important difference for the charities you love.
