This is good news for people who want to make a charitable gift during their lifetime from their retirement assets, but have been discouraged from doing so because of the income tax penalty.

About Tapteal Greenway Association
The Tapteal Greenway is a corridor where wildlife, natural vegetation, and people coexist; which provides opportunities for non-motorized recreation, education and habitat protection; and is planned and managed for future generations through community involvement and interjurisdictional cooperation.
Since 1996, the Tapteal Greenway has been working to conserve some of the remaining natural areas along the lower Yakima River. The Chamna Natural Preserve is the largest of these areas with over 500 acres of open space set aside for muscle powered recreation. Chamna is a City of Richland property. We own 7 acres at the Tapteal Bend area that is in the process of becoming an environmental education park. Returning the Bend to a native plant sanctuary and engineering the river banks to stop erosion is in progress at this time. We are also working to preserve the Amon Basin which drains into the Yakima River. McDonald ridge high above the Horn Rapids Park reach is also part of large conservation plan upstream of Horn Rapids park. We are constantly working to preserve these riparian and shrub steppe lands that adorn the lower Yakima River. Our largest project, the Amon Basin Community Project Phase One and Two have set aside 100 acres of riparian and shrub steppe along the West Fork of Amon Creek as a preserve for non-motorized use.
