Ways to Give

Be sure to ask your employer if they match charitable donations! Many employers match an employee’s or spouse’s donation which can double or triple your impact.

Benefits of gifting Stock or Mutual Funds:

• A charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the stock as of the date the gift is received by KACS
• No capital gains tax applied to the appreciated value of the stock if it has been held for 12 months
• Immediate use of the gift by KACS
• Ability to provide a larger gift to KACS

Use Your Traditional IRA to Make a “Tax-Free” Gift to KACS.

Donors 70½ and older can make a direct gift to KACS from their IRA and avoid tax on the transferred amount. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

Benefits:

• Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to KACS.
• Limit of $100,000 per person annually (collectively)
• If you are 72 or older, the gift may satisfy your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
• Maximize the gift’s impact because all funds go to KACS tax-free.
• Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions.
• Not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts.

Please note:

• Gifts must be made directly by the IRA administrator from the traditional IRA to the charity.
• For tax purposes, the date of the gift is the date that your IRA administrator transfers the funds to the charity. In order for the gift to count in the current tax year, be sure to plan ahead.
