Donate by Check: 

You can send a check payable to the “Center for Transformative Action”—with “ICOA” in the memo line—to the following address:

Center for Transformative Action
P.O. Box 760
Ithaca, NY 14851

Please note: Checks MUST be made out to Center for Transformative Action, and either “Ithaca City of Asylum” or “ICOA” must appear on the memo line.

Donate Direct from an IRA:

People who are 70 ½ and subject to required minimum distributions (RMD), may make a donation directly from an IRA to “Center for Transformative Action” (EIN 16-0990318), specifying “ICOA” in the transmission document.  This donation will count as part of your RMD, removing it from your taxable income. To ensure proper credit, please let us know if you choose this option.

We cannot host our writers and artists without your support.

Thank you!
