Required Minimum Distribution - Is the minimum amount of money you must withdraw from your account each year after the age of 72. Many individuals choose to allocate some or all of their RMD to a nonprofit charity to help offset their taxable income in retirement. For more information on allocating your RMD, contact us.

Estate Planning - Naming a charity as the beneficiary in your will or living trust is one of the simplest ways to donate to charity through estate planning. Plus, it can lower the amount of your taxable estate and any estate taxes. For more information about designating a gift to the Foundation in your estate, contact us.
