We access donations through stocks, property, IRA distributions/contributions, cash, and planned gifts. A qualified charitable stock & traditional IRA contributions allow individuals 70½ years or older to support philanthropic organizations through a taxable stock or IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. Publicly traded securities held for over a year are registered as non-cash assets and frequently donated to charities.
Donating stocks to charity is simple and effective to donate your current access and reap the benefits of your taxable compensation. Stocks also count as long-term appreciated securities, so your gift (and applicable tax deductions) can increase with time.
Donating IRAs through your retirement assets is possible. This is done by cashing out your IRA contribution, paying your remaining income tax, and donating the appropriate contribution limit to charity. This is an effective way to donate the remainder of your retirement accounts after contributing to an IRA over your lifetime.
Donating eligible land and property to charitable organizations can benefit both the environment and your wallet. The donation of land and property can also help you qualify for a charitable donation tax credit depending on the fair market value of your property.
Here are some ways that donating stocks, IRA distributions, and property can impact your chosen charitable organization:
