The Spokane Audubon Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

 

Qualified Charitable Distribution

One unique and impactful method for supporting the Spokane Audubon Society, that not only benefits the environment but also provides donors with financial advantages, is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

QCDs are tax-free transfers of up to $100,000 made by people aged 70½ or older from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a charity, like the Spokane Audubon Society. This method presents a win-win scenario, offering advantages for both donors and land conservancy efforts.

A QCD can count toward an IRA owner’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. The amount is excluded from the donor’s taxable income, reducing their overall tax liability, and potentially decreasing their tax bracket.

It’s always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to ensure that this strategy aligns with your overall financial plan and to understand all potential implications.
