Details on how to make stock gifts, restrictions on Donor Advised Fund Giving, and more can be found below.
Generally, a donor advised fund is a separately identified fund or account that is maintained and operated by a section 501(c)(3) organization, which is called a sponsoring organization. Each account is composed of contributions made by individual donors. Once the donor makes the contribution, the organization has legal control over it. However, the donor, or the donor’s representative, retains advisory privileges with respect to the distribution of funds and the investment of assets in the account.
Donor-advised funds will apply towards your annual giving level, but please note Donor-advised funds offer donors tax advantages at the time of your contribution to the fund. This means your donor-advised fund gift is not eligible for donor benefits that have a fair market value associated with them. Please contact your DAF for more information on making charitable contributions or the tax deductibility of your gift.
Many companies have matching gift programs and will match donations from current employees, directors, retirees and spouses. If your company matches your donation to Village Theatre, the value of your contribution can allow you to receive increased membership benefits.

Required minimum distributions (RMDs) are the minimum amounts you must withdraw from your retirement accounts each year. You generally must start taking withdrawals from your traditional IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and retirement plan accounts when you reach age 72 (73 if you reach age 72 after Dec. 31, 2022).
The RMD rules apply to all employer-sponsored retirement plans (including profit-sharing plans, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, and 457(b) plans). Roth 401(k) accounts are exempt from the RDM rules as long as the owner is alive.
If you have an RMD on your own account or an inherited account and you do not need the funds, donating to charity is a great option. Your required withdrawal will be included in your taxable income and cannot be rolled into other tax-deferred accounts. However, donating your RMD is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Tax benefits aside, earmarking this income for charity is a great way to begin or expand your giving portfolio to support the causes you care about.
