Other Giving Options
A gift from your IRA is a tax-smart way to maximize the benefits for both AFTDJ and for you.
Make An Impact Today: If you are 70½ or older, you may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), a tax-free gift, up to $100,000, directly from your IRA.
There are several benefits:
- You pay no income tax on the distribution.
- The gift counts as part of your Required Minimum Distribution, even if you do not itemize deductions. (Your gift can satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution.)
- AFTDJ can put your gift to work immediately.
To ensure your gift qualifies this calendar year, make the transfer by Dec. 31. Please mail the QCD check to:
