Make a Lasting Impact Through Smarter Giving
Supporting USA Cares is not limited to writing a check. Many supporters choose to give through their retirement accounts, investments, or donor-advised funds. These gifts can provide tax advantages while ensuring veterans and their families have the stability they need to prevent crisis.
IRA Charitable Rollover Gifts
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to USA Cares. This type of gift, often called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), can help satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) and reduce your taxable income.
Benefits:
- Avoid income tax on the amount transferred from your IRA
- Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD)
- Provide immediate help to veterans and families in need
- Reduce the financial stressors that can lead to veteran suicide
Stock Gifts
Donating appreciated stock or securities is a powerful way to support veterans while receiving potential tax benefits. By transferring stock directly to USA Cares, you may avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the gift.
Benefits:
- Avoid capital gains tax on appreciated stock
- Receive a charitable income tax deduction
- Provide immediate support for housing, utilities, and food for veteran families
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
A donor-advised fund is like a charitable investment account that lets you recommend how and when funds are distributed to USA Cares. DAFs allow you to combine favorable tax benefits with the ability to make an immediate or future impact for veterans.
Benefits:
- Simplify your charitable giving in one account
- Make recurring gifts to USA Cares directly from your fund
- Potential to grow your gift tax-free before recommending a grant
- Build a legacy of supporting veterans and their families
