Double Your Donation Impact: An Anonymous Donor Offers Match up to $5,000

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, the first 10 IRA donations of $500 or more will be matched with a $500 donation, up to $5,000–but only through the end of this year! That’s a big win for land conservation in the Quiet Corner! One way for seniors to make donations tax-deductible, without the need for an itemized return, is to give money from an IRA. Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) allow individuals who are 70 1⁄2 years old or older to donate up to $100,000 to qualified charities directly from a taxable IRA. If you are 73 or older, and will need to make Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your IRAs, you can donate part or all of that RMD to a qualified charity and avoid paying income tax on the amount donated. Before making your charitable gift, please consult, as needed, with your financial, legal and other advisors. Help us reach our goal and make an IRA distribution today! Any questions?
