Support Habitat with a gift today that makes a lasting impact beyond your lifetime and helps more families we serve in need of a safe, decent, and affordable home.
There are many options to leave a lasting impact through Habitat, including gifts that:
- Cost you nothing now, by making bequests or designating Habitat as a beneficiary in your will,
- Make an impact immediately, by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA,
- Offer financial benefits to you, such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust, and
- Give tax benefits, through donating gifts of real estate, stock, from your life insurance policy, or retirement plan.
How a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) works:
If you are age 70 1/2 or older and your IRA is subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), directing a portion of the distribution to a qualified charity excludes the amount donated from taxable income.
To get started, you’ll need to:
- Be sure you fit the requirements,
- Contact your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) custodian to notify them that you’d like to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta, and
- Provide them with our EIN/Tax ID: 58-1686320.
We can customize a plan that is right for you and fulfills your desire to serve families starting today or in the coming years.
