Your IRA Can Help Transform Girls' Futures
A Tax-Friendly Way to Help Girls Thrive
If you are an IRA owner age 70½ or older, you can make a distribution from your IRA directly to Daring Girls to provide life-changing services and expert care. Distributions totaling up to $105,000 transfer tax free. Your gift also counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) if you owe one.
A flexible future gift that lasts a girl’s entire lifetime.
Do you prefer a gift that has no impact on your current finances and can be changed at any time if your circumstances change? Simply name Daring Girls as a sole or partial beneficiary of your IRA. This is a comfortable, powerful way to make a meaningful difference in the lives of girls.
Why leave retirement assets to charity?
Retirement account assets left to your heirs are highly taxed—once in the estate and again as income to the beneficiaries. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate are not subject to income tax when they transfer to heirs. By using IRA assets to meet your charitable goals and leaving other assets to family members, you can minimize the income tax burden on your heirs, leaving more to your intended beneficiaries while helping Daring Girls support more girls in more places with life-changing programming.
