Make a Tax-Free Distribution to The Mustard Seed Project from an IRA
The IRA Charitable Rollover allows you to make a tax-free charitable gifts from your IRA to The Mustard Seed Project without claiming any increased income. And, your gift counts towards your minimum distribution requirement.
Donations of up to $100,000 from an IRA made directly to charitable organizations are not included in taxable income.
Simply ask your IRA administrator to make a charitable distribution from your individual retirement account to the Mustard Seed Project.
(The CARES Act suspended required minimum distributions for 2020. You can still make a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA, and there are still tax benefits for doing so.)
