If you’re subject to a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for your traditional IRA, your tax-exemption will only be on the amount that would have been taxable.

  • LCLT General Fund / Annual Membership — contributions are allocated to where they are needed most.
  • Lopez Island Farm Trust & Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development — contributions go towards strengthening our local food system including preserving working agricultural lands and housing farmers.
  • Affordable Housing Programs — contributions help build permanently affordable homes on Lopez, and support LCLT operations and programs related to affordable housing.
  • Len Kanzer Memorial Fund for Housing — Len Kanzer was a dedicated LCLT board member. The fund honors Len’s legacy while providing loans to first time co-op members enabling them to purchase their share in a home, or providing loans to housing co-ops in service of households at or below 80% of San Juan County Area Median Income (AMI). As a revolving loan fund, the interest accrued from loans is invested back into the loan fund. It is a gift that keeps on giving.
  • Luci’s Fund —Named in honor of a supporting member of LCLT from Hawaii, Luci’s Fund is a revolving loan fund available for member share purchases, capital improvements for co-ops, and/or capital improvements on other LCLT leasehold properties for households earning up to 115% of San Juan County Area Median Income (AMI).
