If you are 70½ or older, consider a gift from your retirement account. QCDs, or IRA charitable distributions, allow individuals to meet their required minimum distribution by transferring up to $105,000 directly to charity. Married couples can each make QCDs, totaling up to $210,000. This method offers tax benefits as QCDs don’t increase taxable income, helping avoid higher tax rates. Additionally, QCDs lower the IRA balance, which may reduce future minimum distributions. They also don’t count toward deductible limits if you itemize charitable contributions—$105,000 can be separate from those limits. A QCD may enable a larger gift than donating cash or assets. Consult your retirement advisor to direct a QCD to Family Promise of Greater Phoenix.

Appreciated assets such as stocks and bonds are an easy way to give. Family Promise of Greater Phoenix does not hold securities but rather initiates sales as quickly as possible upon receipt. A donation of securities that have been held for a year or more offers the potential for a double tax benefit—a full fair market value tax deduction and elimination of capital gains taxes.

Family Promise of Greater Phoenix accepts cryptocurrency, which is easily converted to cash.
