Empower Justice with Your IRA: Support Boone County Community Bail Fund

What if your retirement savings could directly support justice in your community? With an IRA rollover to the Boone County Community Bail Fund, you have the opportunity to create real change in the lives of individuals who are unjustly detained simply because they cannot afford bail.

By rolling over a portion of your IRA into the Boone County Community Bail Fund, you're not only ensuring a brighter future for those in need—you’re also making a strategic financial move that benefits both you and your community.

Here’s How It Works:

• Your IRA Can Fuel Justice: IRA rollovers are typically used to support retirement savings, but they can also be used for charitable giving. By rolling over part of your IRA to the Boone County Community Bail Fund, you’ll help provide bail for individuals who otherwise cannot afford it—many of whom are innocent and awaiting their day in court.

• Direct Impact on Your Community: Your contribution will go directly to helping people in Boone County avoid pretrial detention. This allows individuals to stay employed, maintain family connections, and prepare their defense—giving them a fighting chance in the justice system.

• Tax Benefits for You: Just like any other charitable donation, an IRA rollover can offer significant tax advantages, including potential tax deductions. You’re investing in both your future and your community’s future—at no additional cost to you. The funds remain in your IRA, grow tax-deferred, but now they’re helping support bail reform.

Why Bail Reform in Boone County?

In Boone County, as in many areas, individuals facing charges often remain in jail simply because they can't afford bail. Too many people are detained before their trial, disrupting families, jobs, and lives—all for the crime of being poor. Your IRA rollover could make a critical difference in breaking this cycle, ensuring that individuals are treated fairly, not financially disadvantaged.

By supporting the Boone County Community Bail Fund, you're helping individuals regain their freedom and dignity during the trial process—especially those who are unjustly trapped in the system simply because of financial barriers.

Why Your IRA Rollover Matters:

• Keep Families Together: Detained individuals often miss important milestones in their lives—work, school, family events—all while they wait for a trial. Your contribution helps them return home, where they can continue to support their families and remain active in their community.

• Combat Mass Incarceration: The U.S. has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, with thousands detained pretrial simply because they cannot pay for bail. Your IRA rollover is a direct action to reduce this injustice.

• Support Local Solutions: The Boone County Community Bail Fund works directly within Boone County providing a grassroots solution to an ongoing problem. By contributing, you’re supporting a cause that impacts your neighbors and the local justice system.

• Make a meaningful, lasting impact on those who need it most in Boone County.

• Ensure fairer treatment for all individuals, regardless of their financial means.

• Support the movement for bail reform in your community, helping to create a more equitable legal system.
