Your Water Mission Toolkit
Water Mission is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, EIN #57-1116978.
People who hold Individual Retirement Accounts must take a required minimum distribution (RMDs) each year beginning at age 73, increasing the IRA holder’s total taxable income. However, those aged 70 1/2 or older can reduce taxes by directing up to $108,000 (per plan owner) of their RMD to charity through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), which is not taxable. While 401(k) or 403(b) plans are not eligible, rolling them into a traditional IRA allows you to give to charities like Water Mission via a QCD.
If you would like to make a QCD, please send an email to [email protected] and we will send you the information needed to make this type of gift.
