Other Ways to Give
Contribute from your IRA
If you are 70.5 or older, consider making a contribution to us from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA is especially beneficial under tax law passed in 2017. With very few people expected to itemize, the income tax deduction for contributions to charities will be lost for many people. But if you make a QCD, you get a full exclusion of it income from taxes. The contribution needs to be paid directly from the retirement account. If you’re interested in making a gift through your IRA or another retirement account, contact tamar@cta-usa.org.
