Tips for year-end giving

• Contribute from your IRA – There are a number of tax advantages to make retirement plan assets or life insurance work for you and causes you support (Note: IRAs cannot be distributed to a donor advised fund).
• Give now, decide later – Claim a deduction on contributions to a fund now, and distribute the gift later.
• Talk to your advisor – Understand the impact on your taxes and estate by consulting with your advisor.
• Let WF do the legwork – We’ll help you stay informed of the organizations you support. Need ideas on where to give?
