Donate Gifts of Stock, From Your IRA, or Donor Advised Fund

Donating through stocks, bonds, mutual funds, IRA distributions, or a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a powerful way to support The Salvation Army Indiana Division. These contributions provide significant tax benefits while making an impactful difference in the community.

• Appreciated Securities: Donating appreciated stocks or bonds helps you avoid capital gains taxes and allows for a charitable deduction.

• IRA Distributions: If you're 70 ½ or older, a direct transfer from your IRA reduces taxable income and counts toward required minimum distributions.

• Donor Advised Funds: DAFs offer a flexible and convenient way to manage your charitable contributions.

 

By notifying The Salvation Army of your donation, you ensure your gift is used effectively to help feed families and assist those struggling with food insecurity in Indiana. Investment, DAF, and Retirement Account assets also make a wonderful legacy gift to your favorite charities and it’s easy to do! Just update your beneficiary designation form.

Donating from your IRA account

Giving to The Salvation Army from your IRA account reduces your taxable earned income. This may be an important benefit if you no longer itemize your deductions or if you don't need your required minimum distribution.

When you are 70 ½ or older, you can distribute gifts to charity directly from your IRA without treating the distribution as taxable income. Gifts given in this way count toward the required IRA minimum withdrawal amounts in the year of the gift. Please note that IRA charitable distribution gifts qualify for subtraction from your gross income instead of an itemized deduction.

Steps to making an IRA charitable rollover gift

  1. Notify your IRA custodian to make a direct transfer of the distribution amount from the IRA to

    The Salvation Army
    Gift and Estate Planning Office
    Indiana Divisional Headquarters
    6060 Castleway West Dr.
    Indianapolis, IN 46250
  2. Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to The Salvation Army to help continue our important work in your community.
  3. Notify us so we can provide an acknowledgement for your gift

Start your IRA gift today by completing our template letter to your IRA administrator. In order to provide an acknowledgement for your gift, please notify us of the gift by contacting us. Many IRA gifts are received without a donor's address, impeding our ability to thank you!

Please note that IRA charitable distribution gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction and instead are subtracted from your gross income.
