Easy Ways to Make a Lasting Impact

Giving Through your Retirement Plan

Your retirement savings can become a powerful tool for generosity. (Or consider a testimonial quote here.)

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD):If you're age 70½ or older, you can donate up to $108,000 annually (2025) from your IRA directly to SVdP—tax-free. This gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and reduces your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).
Legacy IRA Transfer:
Under the SECURE 2.0 Act, individuals 70½ and older may make a one-time, tax-free gift of up to $54,000 from an IRA to fund a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust benefiting SVdP.
Beneficiary Designation:
At any age, you can name SVdP as a beneficiary of your retirement accounts. This is a tax-efficient way to leave a legacy, as retirement assets passed to heirs are subject to income tax—but gifts to charities are not.

Bequests From Your Will or Living Trust

Leave a legacy of compassion by including SVdP in your estate plans. (Or consider a testimonial quote here.)

You can designate a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate or trust.
Your estate may qualify for a charitable deduction, reducing potential estate taxes.
