OPAF Legacy Program

The Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF) has begun a new initiative-the OPAF Legacy Program.

"The OPAF Legacy Program aims to preserve our expansion as we fulfill our primary mission: To enable individuals with physical disabilities-especially those served by members of the orthotics and prosthetic community-to enjoy the rewards of personal achievement, physical fitness, and social interaction," said Jeffrey S. Reznick, OPAF director and senior research fellow. "The OPAF Legacy Program is made possible through our relationship with The T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving, a national donor-advised fund that promotes philanthropy in the United States."

As a public charity and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Program for Charitable Giving will receive contributions made to the OPAF Legacy Program and will provide donors with all of the necessary information to receive a federal income tax deduction up to allowable Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limits, Reznick explained. Donors can also contribute marketable securities to the OPAF Legacy Program. By transferring long-term appreciated securities in-kind to the Program for Charitable Giving, donors may then deduct the full value of the appreciated securities and avoid paying capital gains taxes, he added.

The president of the OPAF Board of Directors and Reznick, with approval of the entire Board, will at times recommend that a distribution be made from the Legacy Program to sustain and grow the Fund's mission. "Donations to The OPAF Legacy Program at The T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving can be as little as $500 or as generous as you wish," Reznick said. "The OPAF Legacy Program enables you to embrace and carry forward your own legacy of charitable giving through the official philanthropy of the O&P community. Here is a way of giving a gift that will make an enduring difference to the entire O&P community and the individuals we serve."

Contributions of $500 or more to The OPAF Legacy Program will be acknowledged formally by The T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving and by the Fund. In addition, donors will receive a recognition plaque suitable for display, and their names will be included on a permanent plaque in the OPAF office. Donors also will be noted in a public record through recognition in the Fund's annual report to the entire O&P community.
