Looking for another way to support the Eco-Justice Center?
Consider these Legacy Giving options:
- Roll over your IRA annual distributions to the Eco-Justice Center.
This is a unique way to begin building your charitable legacy during your lifetime.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires anyone, who has reached the age of 70-½ years, and who has a tax-deferred retirement account, such as IRAs, to annually withdraw a minimum amount from these accounts and pay taxes. The amount, referred to as the Minimum Required Distribution (MRD), depends on the balance of your retirement account at the end of the previous calendar year.
IRAs have a special provision, known as a charitable rollover, where one can transfer assets up to $100,000 dollars annually to public charities directly, exempting them from paying taxes.
REQUIREMENTS FOR IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER
- The IRA account holder is at least 70 ½ years of age or older;
- The transfer or distribution is direct from an IRA account to Eco-Justice Center, Inc;
- The transfer or distribution is completed during the applicable tax year; and
- The total of the gift does not exceed $100,000 per tax year
2. List the Eco-Justice Center as a beneficiary on a financial instrument.
Many people have investments or life insurance policies that list primary and secondary beneficiaries. Consider listing the “Eco-Justice Center, Inc” as a primary or secondary beneficiary on one of these instruments. Some donors choose to enter a family member as a primary beneficiary, and a charity as a secondary beneficiary.
3. Leave us a donation in your will.
