Donate Your IRA RMD
Make a Tax-Savvy Impact
Donate Your IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to Foothills Animal Rescue
If you’re age 70 1/2 or older and have a traditional IRA, donating your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) directly to Foothills Animal Rescue is a powerful way to support the dogs and cats in our care waiting to be adopted—while also receiving meaningful tax benefits.
Please consult your tax advisor before deciding to donate your required minimum distribution from your individual retirement account.
Benefits of Donating Your IRA RMD
Reduce Your Taxable Income
When you make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to a nonprofit, the amount donated can be excluded from your taxable income. This can help lower your overall tax burden, especially if you no longer itemize deductions.
Satisfy Your RMD
A QCD counts toward your annual Required Minimum Distribution. Instead of withdrawing funds and increasing your taxable income, you can direct those dollars to a cause you care about—and meet your RMD obligation at the same time.
Avoid Higher Tax Brackets & Medicare Premiums
Reducing your taxable income through a QCD may also help you stay in a lower tax bracket and avoid increases in Medicare premiums or taxes on Social Security benefits.
Easy to Set Up
Your IRA custodian can send the funds directly to Foothills Animal Rescue. The process is simple, and Foothills Animal Rescue is happy to help guide you through the steps.
Make a Meaningful Difference
Your gifts are 100% tax deductible.
If you are passionate about animal welfare and want to support the animals at Foothills Animal Rescue, your IRA gift can have a lasting impact—and it’s one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.
