Ways to Give to the Vitalant Foundation

Make a difference today and save on taxes. If you are 70 ½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Donation from your IRA allows you to make a gift directly to the Vitalant Foundation, tax-free.

Your support helps to advance research through the Vitalant Research Institute, a global leader in transfusion medicine and blood safety; strengthen community blood programs that supply blood to more than 900 hospitals nationwide; and drive innovation therapies that save lives every single day.

Why Consider This Gift?

Your gift will be used today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
If you are required to take minimum distributions, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your obligation.
You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.

Next Steps:

Connect with your retirement provider.
Seek the advice of your financial or legal advisor.
To include Vitalant Foundation in your plans, please use our legal name and federal tax ID. Please let us know of your gift (many retirement providers assume no responsibility for letting us know of your intentions) to ensure we honor your intent.
Contact the Foundation at foundation@vitalant.org.

Plan Your Gift

Make a big impact with a future gift. Bequests are donations given through a living trust or will. You can designate Vitalant Foundation as your beneficiary in a will or estate for a specific amount or designate Vitalant Foundation as your beneficiary in a life insurance policy. Vitalant Foundation recommends consulting an attorney before drafting a will.

Vitalant Foundation must be named as the owner and beneficiary of the insurance policy for it to be tax-deductible.
