IRA Charitable Rollover:
An IRA Charitable Rollover, also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), allows individuals age 70½ or older to donate up to $100,000 directly from their traditional IRA to a qualified nonprofit like the Mule Deer Foundation, without counting the distribution as taxable income. This means your gift can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD), potentially reducing your overall tax burden while supporting a cause you care deeply about.
By choosing to make an IRA Charitable Rollover to the Mule Deer Foundation, you’re making a direct investment in conservation, protecting vital mule deer habitat, funding science-based restoration projects, and supporting responsible wildlife management. It’s a smart and impactful way to leave a legacy for future generations of hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and wildlife. Call or Email today for more information.
Stocks and Bonds Transfer/Donation:
Donating stocks, bonds, or other appreciated securities to the Mule Deer Foundation is a smart and impactful way to support conservation while potentially reducing your tax burden. When you give long-term appreciated assets directly, rather than selling them first, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes and still receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the asset. This allows you to make a larger gift at a lower cost to you, while helping ensure healthy mule deer populations and protected habitats for generations to come.
The process is straightforward: you or your financial advisor simply transfers the securities electronically to the Mule Deer Foundation’s brokerage account. Once received, we liquidate the assets and use the proceeds to support science-based habitat restoration, migration corridor protection, and youth and veteran outreach programs. It’s a strategic way to turn your investments into a lasting legacy on the landscape.
By donating stocks or bonds, you’re aligning your financial goals with your conservation values. You’re not just giving, you’re investing in the future of mule deer and the Western wild places we all cherish.
