Ways to Give
There are a number of ways to support Dawn’s Place with financial gifts that will make a substantial impact while providing you with tangible benefits.
IRA Charitable Rollovers
IRA Charitable Rollovers are a great way to make a financial gift to Dawn’s Place that can create a substantial impact, while also providing you with tangible benefits.
If you have a traditional or Roth IRA and are required to take money out of your account, you can designate the distribution as a donation to Dawn’s Place. In many cases, these gifts are 100% tax-free, allowing you to donate without increasing your yearly taxable income and without impacting your day-to-day living expenses.
IRA Charitable Rollovers benefit you because:
-
They can be used to satisfy your required withdrawal from your IRA account.
-
They may be excluded from your gross income which could mean you pay less in taxes for the year you take the distribution.
-
They can be made even if you do not itemize deductions on your tax returns.
-
They are a way to donate using money from savings, not directly from your monthly income.
-
You qualify to make an IRA Charitable Rollover if:
-
You are age 70½ or older at the time you take the distribution from your IRA.
-
You transfer your gift directly from your IRA account to Dawn's Place and do not receive the money first.
-
Your gift isn't used to fund a gift annuity.
