Asset Gifts
This includes money held in real estate, life insurance policies, publicly traded stock, mutual funds or other appreciated assets that can be designated tax-free to qualified charities to create a transformational impact.
Qualified Charitable Distributions or QCDs can reduce your income taxes - Normally, funds that are distributed from a Traditional IRA are includible in your taxable income, which is likely to increase your overall tax burden. In some cases, this additional income may also move you into a higher tax bracket. However, QCDs are an exception to this rule—funds go directly from your IRA to your chosen charitable organization without going to you first, thereby lowering your adjusted gross income and effectively reducing your income taxes.
QCDs can satisfy Required Minimum Distributions - RMDs are amounts that you must withdraw annually from your Traditional IRA once you’re eligible (as of 1/1/2023, the age to start taking RMDs increased from age 72 to age 73, except for donors who turned 72 before January 1, 2023). If you do not withdraw your RMD, you will face a penalty tax of 25% of the required withdrawal amount. QCDs can be used to meet this RMD requirement and avoid penalties.
