Our work depends entirely on private donations, foundation grants, bequests, and court-awarded legal fees earned in successful cases.

Qualified Charitable Distributions

Donate via QCDs.

Take advantage of tax benefits

The ACLU-KY Foundation is eligible to receive QCDs.

If you are 70½ years of age or older and have an eligible IRA, you may be able to take advantage of the tax benefits of a QCD when you give to the ACLU-KY Foundation.

Through a QCD, you can make direct transfers from your IRA up to $105,000 per year (up to $210,000 if you and your partner file taxes jointly) to the ACLU-KY Foundation. This withdrawal is not treated as taxable income and you may avoid being pushed into a higher tax bracket.

If you are subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs), taking advantage of a QCD can be counted toward your RMD for the year, reducing both the balance of your IRA and RMD amounts in future years.

Please consult your tax advisor to determine if a QCD is right for you.

For more information about making a QCD to the ACLU-KY Foundation, contact Charlene Buckles at [email protected].
