Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
We understand that many of our generous donors may be reaching the age where Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are a part of their financial plan. Starting at 70.5 years of age, you may consider an RMD. Once you turn 73, the IRS requires you to take distributions from your retirement accounts, like IRAs and 401(k)s.
If you’re already planning to take an RMD, did you know you can use it to make a direct donation to PORCH Communities? A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) helps your community and lowers your taxable income!
You will realize many benefits including:
Avoid taxes on your Required Minimum Distribution
Maximize your impact without changing your lifestyle
Support your neighbors with a simple, powerful act of generosity
Bill
Durham, NC
”For the last 2 years, my wife and I have been participating in Porch’s food donation pickup program. This year we have decided to donate funds directly to PORCH as well as the food items. I will be asking my financial planning group to extract a portion of my Required Minimum Distribution from my investment accounts to be sent directly to PORCH.”
Matching Gifts
Many employers (and former employers!) offer matching gift programs, providing a matching amount to the charitable donations made by their employees (even if you are retired). Check with your company to see if they offer this benefit, and double your impact without extra effort!
Appreciated Stock or Assets
If you own stocks or other investments that have appreciated, donating them directly to a nonprofit is smart. You avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation, and you can claim a charitable deduction for the full market value of the gift.
