Tax-Smart Gifts: IRA Charitable Rollovers & Retirement Plans
By naming FARM STEW as a beneficiary of your retirement account, you can direct tax-efficient gifts toward helping us grow our mission. Retirement assets like IRAs or 401(k)s offer a powerful opportunity to fund transformative projects and avoid burdensome taxes.
Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Gifts
If you're 72 or older, you can use your required minimum distribution (RMD) to make a tax-free gift to FARM STEW through an IRA charitable rollover. This allows you to reduce your taxable income while directly supporting families in need worldwide.
Giving through a Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you would like to support FARM STEW International through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), you can direct your donation using the following information. A QCD is a great way to give tax-free from your IRA while making a meaningful impact. Please consult your financial advisor for details on how to process your donation.
