Not only is giving back an honorable notion, but it’s also a choice that will help many people live better lives. While donating to a charity is great, you want to go about it in a way that’ll be mutually beneficial. The best way to achieve this is by becoming aware of charitable giving strategies that suit your particular needs and goals. If you’re unsure about which path to take, then we can help.
TrinityPoint Wealth is proud to offer charitable giving strategy services to our clients. With our guidance, you can find the right charity while also gaining some benefits for yourself through tax savings. In this article, we’ll touch on two popular giving strategies. As always, if you have any questions, simply reach out to the TPW team!
Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-advised funds are the charitable giving strategy we most often recommend to our clients. In general, these funds make you eligible to receive an immediate tax deduction. You’ll donate cash, stocks, or assets into a fund which then allows your contribution to achieve tax-free growth. Your donation will grow, naturally and tax-free, resulting in more money that can go towards the charity of your choice.
Although this description of donor-advised funds is brief, it covers the core components. If you’d like to learn more, give us a call and we’ll answer any questions you may have.
Qualified Charitable Deductions from IRAs
Qualified charitable deductions are another popular charitable giving strategy. Known as QCD for short, this strategy withdraws funds from your IRA and puts it towards an eligible charity of your choice.
There are a few rules and regulations that dictate who can partake in this strategy. Chiefly, the IRA account holder must be at least 70 years of age as of December 31, 2019. IRAs have required minimum distributions (RMD) which must begin to take place when the account holder reaches the age of 72. Avoiding making these distributions can result in a 50% excise tax. QCDs subvert these issues and can actually count toward that year’s RMD. If you fit the criteria, then QCDs might be the right charitable strategy for you!
