Giving Through Your RMD
As you plan your financial strategy for the year, it’s important to consider your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your individual retirement accounts (IRAs). While RMDs are a necessary part of retirement planning, they also increase your taxable income. You can satisfy your RMD, reduce your tax burden, and make a significant impact on a cause you care about by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
Benefits
A QCD allows you to donate directly from your IRA to a qualified nonprofit, like the MANN Center for the Arts.
- Satisfy Your RMD: Your QCD counts toward your RMD for the year, up to the amount of your gift.
- Reduce Your Taxable Income: The amount you donate via a QCD is excluded from your adjusted gross income (AGI). This is a key advantage over taking the distribution and then donating afterward.
- Direct and Safe Giving: It’s a safe and easy way to give because the transfer is made directly from your IRA custodian to the nonprofit. Your gift goes entirely to the nonprofit, tax-free, allowing you to make a substantial contribution to an organization that matters to you.
How to Give
- Confirm Eligibility: You generally must take withdrawals from traditional IRA, SEP IRA, Simple IRA, and retirement plan accounts when you reach age 73.
- Contact Your Financial Advisor or Institution: Instruct your financial institution to make a direct transfer from your IRA to the Center.
- Provide our Details: Your administrator will need the Center’s legal name and address.
