This planned giving option allows you to give a gift to the animals without counting it as taxable income.
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a wonderful option for people 70 ½ and older. It allows you to make a gift to the animals—from $100 to $105,000—without the distribution counting as taxable income.
This giving option involves making a direct contribution from your traditional or Roth IRA to a public charity like The Pipsqueakery. It is a great option if you don't normally itemize your charitable deductions.
Talk with a financial professional to determine whether a QCD could benefit you.
Key features of a qualified charitable distribution:
You must be at least 70 ½ years old.
You may transfer up to $105,000 per year directly from your traditional or Roth IRA to The Pipsqueakery or other qualified charitable organizations.
Married couples can gift up to $105,000 per person, per year, from their IRA if each meets the requirements above.
You may not receive any goods or services in return for your gift.
You may use your QCD to fund a life income gift, such as a charitable gift annuity.
New legislation effective in 2023 makes it possible to use qualified charitable distributions to fund life income gifts like charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts.
