As we approach the end of the year, many start to think about year-end gifts to their favorite nonprofits (like Deschutes Land Trust!). When you consider your options, make sure to look into charitable giving through your IRA!

Did you know that if you are 72 or older, you can make a charitable gift from your IRA without counting the gift as part of your adjusted gross income?

Charitable contributions can be made (up to a maximum of $100,000) from eligible retirement accounts, including traditional Individual Retirement Accounts and Roth IRAs. Gifts must come directly from your IRA administrator to the Deschutes Land Trust.

Charitable IRA giving is a great opportunity to support the Land Trust in a way that could have numerous benefits for you too. Contact your financial advisor today and then make your charitable IRA gift to the Deschutes Land Trust!
