Make a bigger impact for conservation while enjoying valuable tax savings.
• Qualified Charitable Distributions from your IRA
If you’re 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $108,000 directly from your IRA to OCLT without paying income tax. If you’re 73 or older, your gift can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)—helping you meet IRS rules while making an immediate impact on OCLT’s mission.
Contact your IRA administrator to request a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA to OCLT.
• Donating Appreciated Stock
When you donate appreciated stock, you can bypass capital gains taxes and receive a full fair market value deduction for your gift, which is calculated as a percentage of your adjusted gross income (AGI). It’s an easy and efficient way to leverage your portfolio growth to help advance the protection of our most important lands for the benefit of generations to come.
• Donor Advised Funds
Charitable giving through a donor-advised fund (DAF) is easy: You can make an outright gift to OCLT and/or designate OCLT to receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.
For more information, please contact us at 845-534-3690 extension 1. Thank you for considering a gift to the Orange County Land Trust!
Please consult your financial or tax professional for advice about charitable giving options that work best for you.
