Friend,
The fight for a more just society is long, and in some moments can feel difficult. But we all have a role to play in creating a more equitable country, and now is the time to dig in.
Now that we're halfway through 2022, many SPLC supporters are using a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for their IRAs to battle social injustices. Will you join them?
Here are three reasons to make your impact today:
- IRA gifts make an immediate impact. If you’re over 70 ½ with a traditional IRA, an IRA gift is a powerful way to support the SPLC’s mission, in real-time.
- IRA gifts have tax advantages. For those 72 and older, it’s a compassionate way to fulfill your 2022 RMD, without paying extra taxes.
- IRA gifts are beneficial – even during a down market. Your RMD is calculated on the closing balance of the account at the end of 2021 – when the market was more bullish – so your RMD and the taxes you’ll have to pay on it may feel higher than usual. Now is a great time to get ahead and tap into this form of giving, fulfill your requirement and avoid increasing your taxable income.
MAKE MY IMPACT
The secure online resource linked above makes it easy to learn more and create your gift if you feel ready to do so – the SPLC’s tax information will already appear, and any other instructions will be clear and easy to follow. However, please note that to complete your Qualified Charitable Distribution, you’ll need to download and submit your forms by following the instructions we’ll provide. If you have any questions, we recommend reaching out to a tax advisor.
Thank you for your consideration, and for your continued support.
In solidarity,
Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center
