Qualified Charitable Distributions and Gifts of Stock

Give to the Y, Receive tax benefits.

If you are 70 ½ or older, you may consider gifting a portion of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) directly to the Greensburg YMCA.  You are able to gift up to $100,000 directly to a charity from your IRA as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

The QCD has the following advantages:

• The distribution is excluded from taxable income as long as the distribution goes directly to charity.  The charity receives the full value of the gift without the deduction of taxes.
• The QCD will count toward your required minimum distribution for the calendar year.

Gifts of appreciated stock or mutual fund shares may also have favorable tax benefits for you.  By gifting appreciated assets held for one year or more, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes.

You may wish to consult your tax counsel to determine how rules regarding charitable giving apply to you specifically.  For more information about ways to donate, please contact Debby King at [email protected] or 734-834-0150, ext. 114.
