Donor-advised funds
A donor-advised fund is like a personal charitable savings account. You create an account and make a contribution and receive an immediate tax benefit and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Community foundations often serve as sponsoring organizations and so do nonprofit arms of financial-services firms such as Vanguard Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and Fidelity Charitable. Once a fund is established, donors tell the sponsoring organization which nonprofits they’d like to donate to from their accounts.
For more information about supporting Beyond Literacy* with a donor-advised fund, contact Robin Robinowtz, Chief Development Officer.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution
Individuals aged 70 ½ or older may distribute up to $100,000 tax-free from your individual retirement accounts (IRAs) to qualified charitable organizations without including the distribution on gross income. In other words, you can lower your federal income tax bill by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA. For a QCD to count toward your current year’s Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), the funds from your IRA must be received by the organization by tax year deadline, which is generally December 31 each year. Contact your IRA investment company to find out how to distribute charitable contributions.
