Give for the Future. Naming us as a beneficiary of your retirement plan is a generous way to ensure the future of democracy.
If you are age 70.5 or older, you can request a Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD) from your retirement account to benefit LWV Metropolitan Des Moines.
Here is how it works:
•Request a QCD from your retirement administrator; you may even be able to log in to your online account to make your request.
•The distribution must be sent directly to our mail box - you cannot withdraw the funds first.
•While you will not get a tax deduction for your gift, there is no income tax due on the distribution. This is a great option if you don't itemize.
•If you are 73 or older and need to take a required minimum distribution (RMD), you can direct some or all of it (subject to maximum gifts allowable) as a QCD.
•You can make up to $108,000 in QCD gifts to all charities in a year ($216,000 for married couples who can donate up to $108,000 each from their own retirement plans).
