LET US KNOW ABOUT YOUR FUTURE GIFT

If you have already included International Relief Teams in your will or further estate planning, please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity and welcome you to the International Relief Teams Legacy Circle.

MAKE INTERNATIONAL RELIEF TEAMS A BENEFICIARY

If you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, real estate, or any other assets not included in your will, designating International Relief Teams as a beneficiary can have a big impact and may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes.

Even if you have a will in place you still need to designate beneficiaries for your non-probate assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Give From Your Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

What are gifts from your IRA?

Donating from IRA accounts is a common, tax-smart estate planning strategy that pulls from retirement savings to give to charity.

Giving directly from your IRA is a great way to support International Relief Teams and enjoy significant tax savings.

The amount of the QCD is excluded from your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), thus not subject to income tax; donors do not receive any income tax charitable deduction for the gift. If you are required to make a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) this year, giving from your IRA is a convenient and compassionate option to fulfill your RMD.

  1. Instruct your IRA provider to distribute funds directly to International Relief Teams.
  2. Enjoy the benefit of a tax-free distribution from your IRA, contributing towards your required minimum distribution for the year.
  3. Potentially reduce tax liability by excluding the distribution amount from taxable income.

You will not receive a charitable income tax deduction for a qualified charitable distribution.

Give Stocks & Securities

Gifts of stock are transfers of stocks or other appreciated assets from an individual to a charitable entity.

Giving stocks and other securities to International Relief Teams is an easy way to make an impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor International Relief Teams will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate. If you itemize deductions, you can also take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount.

When you donate appreciated securities or mutual funds you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on your donation. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.

Please coordinate with Kathie Nettles, noted below, before making transfers so we can ensure we can accept the security you wish to donate. In your communication, please include the following:
