Dear Friend,
At Alliance Medical Ministry, we rely completely on philanthropy—not Medicaid or insurance reimbursements. That independence keeps us flexible and ready to care for our patients, no matter what changes in healthcare policy come our way.
If you’d like your giving to work a little harder, here are two strategies many of our friends use:
1. Donate Appreciated Securities
Have a stock or mutual fund that’s gone up in value and you’ve owned for more than a year? Instead of selling it and paying capital gains tax, you can donate it directly to AMM. You’ll receive a charitable deduction for the full value and avoid the capital gains—a double win.
2. Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you’re 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA. The amount counts toward your required minimum distribution but isn’t treated as taxable income.
Both options are easy and can make a big difference for our patients. Talk with your financial advisor, then email us at development@alliancemedicalministry.org if you’d like guidance.
Thank you for helping us provide compassionate, whole-person care for our uninsured neighbors in Wake County!
Sincerely,
Pete Tannenbaum,
AMM Executive Director

Meet Rakira, AMM's newest Med Serve Fellow!
Med Serve is a program through AmeriCorps that allows students interested in pre-health careers, such as becoming a physician or a physician's assistant, to serve for two years at a clinic in North Carolina. All the clinics focus on primary care in some form or fashion, and fellows serve in different clinical roles as medical assistants, health coaches, scribes, and anything related to that. They also serve in a community health role as health educators, outreach personnel, population health specialists, and more.

The festival featured a variety of attractions, including the signature Dragon Boat Races on Symphony Lake, live music and performances, a wide selection of global street foods and cultural exhibits, as well as a health fair with free screenings.
AMM talked to festival goers about our mission and provided education on the impact of mental health and nutrition on overall health.

September 22nd marked the first day of fall, and with the change of the seasons, also comes a change in the crops. As many of the summer crops in the AMM Garden begin to finish their harvests, the fall crops are starting to flourish and grow. Vegetables such as okra and green beans are almost done for the year, and the pear trees have few fruits left. Meanwhile, other crops are ready for the crisp weather of autumn days. Standing tall in the garden are the green leaves of broccoli, collards, kale, and cabbage. The bright purple sweet potato flowers are luring pollinators in as the vines of the plant blanket the ground.
