Planned Giving

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.
