10 Reasons to Donate from Your Retirement Plan

An image of a red heart held between fingertips over a stack of money from a nearby piggy bank, to accompany a PlannedGiving.Com blog on making a gift to a nonprofit from your retirement plan.

Donating from your retirement assets can potentially save your heirs from double taxation. By making a gift to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, there’s no income or estate or inheritance tax due on your retirement plan assets passing to them. Plus, you can also take advantage of the IRA Charitable Rollover or make gifts that count as your RMD. And the best part? You can make a big impact on a cause you care about while investing in your own legacy and long-term happiness. Find out more about the benefits of donating from your retirement plan.
