Donate Through a “Qualified Charitable Distribution”
For people who are age 70½ or over that have an IRA and wish to donate to a registered non-profit 501(c)(3), you can make a qualified charitable distribution or QCD. These distributions are paid directly from the IRS to a qualified charity, can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, and exclude the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. You can check with your CPA or tax advisor, and here is more information from the IRS, https://www.irs.gov/publications/p590b.
Donate Property for Feral Cats
Do you have a farm or ranch or a couple of acres next to your home? Can you provide a safe, enclosed, protected home for a few ferals? If so, please contact us.
