Dear Supporter,

The end of the calendar year is here! Your year-end charitable giving decisions are important.

Tax Incentives for 2022 Only

  • Cash gifts for itemizers: you can deduct up to 100% of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).
    •    Consider accelerating planned 2023 cash gifts into 2022 to take full advantage.

Other Reminders

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

  • If you are age 70½ or older, a QCD allows you to contribute up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to AICR and pay no federal income tax on the withdrawal.
    Learn More about IRAs and QCDs

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

  • By giving appreciated securities you have owned for more than a year, you enhance your tax benefits. 
  • You receive a tax deduction for the value at the time of your gift and you avoid the capital gains tax that you would have owed if you sold the stock.
  • Please be sure to contact your investment advisor now because most firms have strict rules regarding the time you must contact them to make year-end security gifts. Year-end is also a time when investment advisors make portfolio changes to rebalance for diversification purposes making this a perfect time to identify appreciated assets for gifting.

Donor Advised Fund Distributions

Charitable Gift Annuities—a great strategy for 2022!

  • You make a gift to AICR and AICR pays you guaranteed income for life, regardless of market volatility. 
  • Your annuity rate is based upon your age, the date of your gift, and when your annuity payments begin. 
  • If you use cash to create your gift annuity in 2022, you can deduct up to 100% of AGI. Recent changes in annuity rates allow for a larger tax deduction than in some prior years.
  • A gift annuity established using cash pays a significant amount of tax-free income.
  • If you are age 50 or older, please ask us for a personalized illustration so we can show you how a gift to AICR can give you guaranteed income for life.
