CVBT Legacy Society
Leaving a Legacy
One of the most satisfying things you will be able to do by taking time to plan your estate is to make decisions to benefit some of the worthy institutions and organizations you have supported during your lifetime. In fact, many of the most significant gifts that nonprofits receive come from the estates of regular contributors who decide to share a portion of their accumulated assets later on, after taking care of family and friends.
Support CVBT Through Your IRA
Consider supporting CVBT through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) through your IRA.
If you are 70 1/2 or older, and have an IRA, you’re already able to do so. Did you know you can reduce your taxable income through an IRA QCD? If you make a gift directly to a qualified charity like the Trust, you reduce your taxable income while satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD).
After you turn 72, you are required to make minimum distributions from your IRA. If you do not, you may find yourself with IRS penalties! To ensure this won’t happen, you may make a QCD gift of up to $100,000 per individual or $200,000 per couple.
