IRA

Why should you donate from your IRA?

1. Save on taxes.

Funds withdrawn from your IRA usually count toward your annual income, which increases your overall tax burden. IRA gifts are generally the exception since they aren’t recognized as income. A gift from your IRA to an eligible nonprofit organization counts as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) and will be tax-free up to $105,000. Consider giving before Dec. 15 to beat the end-of-year rush for IRA custodians and help ensure that your gift can count for the current tax year.

2. Meet your Required Minimum Distribution.
For donors 72 and older who must take Required Minimum Distributions, an IRA gift can also count toward your RMD, without counting toward your taxable income for the year. If you’re required to take an RMD, this gift will help you avoid a hefty tax penalty.

3. Maximize your impact.
If your goals include supporting a cause near to your heart, QCDs may be right for you and can make a real impact on the nonprofit you choose. When you donate from your IRA this year, you will be providing vital support to the causes you care about at a time when needs are great and other funding is tight.
Contact your IRA custodian for more details on how to make a qualified charitable distribution.

Donor-advised Funds

A donor-advised fund acts as a charitable investment account, where you can contribute cash, securities, or other assets. You receive an immediate tax deduction when you make a contribution to your DAF. Thereafter, you can recommend grants from the fund to your favorite charities over time. By using a DAF, you can make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then take your time in determining when you want those funds to flow to the Tulsa Botanic Garden.
