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.
