IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)
Note: If you are initiating a QCD from your retirement, please call (734) 484-2727 to share date and financial institution so we know to expect your gift. As of 2024, donors who are 70 ½ or older are allowed to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution of up to $105,000 from an individual retirement account. If you and your spouse file taxes jointly, your spouse can also make a QCD from their own IRA within the same tax year for up to $105,000. This contribution method effectively reduces a taxpayer’s adjusted gross income.
Gifts of Stock
By transferring appreciated stock or securities to Friends In Deed, you may be eligible for a tax deduction equal to full fair market value of the stock, avoiding the capital gains tax on the stock’s increased value. Contact our office at (734) 484-2727 for transfer information.
Estate Planning
Include Friends In Deed in your estate plans – it’s easier than you would think! You can help make a positive impact in our community for future generations by naming FID in your will, or taking advantage of other creative giving opportunities. Supporting FID through a planned gift may offer you significant tax savings. To learn more about making a bequest or other planned gift, contact our office at (734) 484-2727.
