OTHER WAYS TO DONATE

Did you know that you can make a charitable contribution through your Roth IRA or traditional IRA? That’s right, and if you’re 70.5 or older, there are some added tax benefits to making your “Qualified Charitable Distribution” in this way.

Specifically, current tax law allows you to fulfill your required minimum distribution while bypassing your gross income. That’s even better than the benefits of making a standard charitable contribution. There are some other advantages too:

  • It allows you to support Kara’s continued service to the bereaved in our community.
  • It minimizes your tax obligation at the federal and state level
  • It may keep you in a lower tax bracket.

How To Make A Contribution Through Your IRA

  • Contact your financial adviser today and request that a “Qualified Charitable Distribution be made directly to Kara.
  • Make sure that your gift is identified with your name, address, and intention to use it as an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution.
  • Make sure to list our name as “Kara,” our address as 457 Kingsley Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94301, and our EIN number as 94-2431483

If you have questions please give us a call at 650-321-5272.
Because of Kara, I was able to move through my grief journey from having trouble breathing some days, to acceptance, to being able to celebrate the wonderful life of my brother. Our community is stronger and healthier because of the tireless work of everyone involved in Kara’s mission.
