As we approach the end of the year, don’t forget to utilize the IRA rollover. Individuals can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), which is a direct transfer of funds from their IRA custodian directly to a qualified charity. The QCD can be counted toward satisfying their required minimum distribution as long as certain rules are met. In addition to helping Heifer Foundation, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income. You must be 70-and-a-half or older and can contribute up to $105,000 (index adjusted annually).

Continuing our series on legacy giving, we are sharing gifts via will or beneficiary designation. These are two easy ways for donors to make gifts that don’t cost anything now and can have an impact for those in need for generations to come. Donations like these can come from retirement funds, bank accounts, donor-advised funds, savings bonds or life insurance policies.

The deceased left all of his property to his wife, Teta, but the will contained some stipulations. It was witnessed by two scribes, and was, as the New York Times has stated, “shockingly modern.”
