You have the power to provide one hungry family the training it takes to feed themselves and their children; to give a young girl a chance at an education; to empower a woman to have a voice in her community.
Together, we can change the world.
One child, one family, one community, at a time. And it all starts with a gift.
IRA Charitable Rollover
Many donors recognize that directly transferring funds from an IRA is a great way to make support for Heifer Foundation or Heifer International a part of their legacy, and now it is a permanent option. Here’s how it works:
- You must be 70 ½ or older.
- You may individually transfer up to a total of $105,000 per year; a married couple may give up to $210,000.
- An individual may take a one-time QCD up to $53,000 to fund a charitable gift annuity (CGA) or charitable remainder trust (CRT).
- Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to Heifer.
- Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to Heifer, so it does not create taxable income for you and is not considered a charitable tax deduction.
- If you are 73 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.
Gifts of Property
You can donate appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property. This is an effective way to fund a legacy gift that can give you peace of mind today and the satisfaction of knowing that you’ll be making a difference for years to come.
You can leave this generous gift while still using the property throughout your lifetime, and you may even receive a tax deduction for your gift.
Gifts of Stock
Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds appreciated in value are among the best ways to support Heifer. You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock.
