IRA Distributions

If you have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), you may make gifts to non-profit organizations directly from your IRA that count toward your RMD and are not taxed. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution. 
 
Generally, you do this by contacting the administrator of your IRA and asking them to make distributions to the charities you love. The distribution usually must come directly from the administrator. Otherwise, the funds will be taxed. If you have a “charitable checking account” with your IRA, slightly different rules may apply, and you should contact your administrator or financial advisor. 
 
As with all important financial decisions, you should consult your financial advisor. DPAA does not provide financial or tax advice. But a rapidly-growing number of donors are choosing this means of giving because of the considerable tax benefits.
