This holiday season, take a moment to consider impactful gifts you can give, including one that goes a long way toward ensuring the future of elk and elk country.
When most of us think about giving a gift, we may do so with cash, check or a credit card. However, there are other options that allow you to hang on to your cash. You may also be able to make a greater gift than you ever thought possible. Here are four options:
- Donor-Advised Fund – Recommend your gift to RMEF. Much like your own charitable savings account, this continues to be a popular way to give.
- Appreciated securities – Avoid capital gains and receive an income tax deduction for the current value at the same time. This win-win is a simple way to make a donation.
- IRA charitable rollover – Donate up to $105,000 without having to recognize it as income and it may keep you from bumping into a higher tax bracket with increased Medicare premiums. This is an easy way to make a meaningful gift while receiving a tax benefit at the same time and satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD).
To learn more about fulfilling your year-end goals and while also assisting RMEF’s mission, contact us at 406-523-3456 or [email protected].
Please note that RMEF does not offer tax advice. As always, RMEF recommends discussing options with your financial advisors before taking any action.
Turn your values into your legacy. Include RMEF as a beneficiary of your will, life insurance policy, retirement accounts, trust or annuity and be recognized in our esteemed Trails Society. Ensure generations will enjoy the wildlife and wild places that you treasure.
