Giving From Investments

Financial advice from the experts.  If you are age 72 or older and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you have reached that milestone where you must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). The distribution may increase your taxable income and require you to pay taxes on this previously untaxed asset. The IRA Charitable Rollover, also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution, allows you to gift your RMD to charity, which omits the distribution from your income and allows you to avoid paying the tax.
Donating the Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA to the BTCV Sustainability Fund may reduce your tax bill and will support effective and sustainable programs for students and teachers worldwide.  Contact your plan administrator to get started with your gift and Be The Change!
