How to Make a Donation

Traditionally, a majority of the gifts made to The Indian Cultural Center come in the form of cash, via check or credit card. A gift of cash entitles you to the most generous federal income tax deduction available for charitable contributions. You may deduct up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income for gifts of cash and may carry any amount over that figure forward for up to five additional years.

Checks should be made payable to: "ITACC" and mailed to C/O Manu Dadhania, 820 Rout3 73 South, Marlton, NJ 08053.You can donate by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover or PayPal. Please click on Donate button below.

A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and will not have to recognize the appreciation as capital gain. See below for information about how to give securities or mutual fund shares to The Indian Cultural Center:
