In this episode of Alt Investing Made Easy, Sarah Florer and Roland Wiederaenders discuss the importance of charitable giving, particularly during the holiday season, with Julia Helgeson from the Joyful Child Foundation. Julia shares her journey into nonprofit work, the foundation's mission to protect children, and the various programs they offer. The conversation also covers the legal aspects of charitable contributions, the significance of 501(c)(3) status, and strategies for effective charitable giving, including tax benefits and diverse ways to contribute.
Three Key Takeaways for charitable giving to discuss with your tax advisor:
- You have a personal limit of 60% of your AGI, but can give without limitation through a business organization.
- Many charitable organizations can accept in-kind donations such as marketable securities.
- For people receiving mandatory retirement distributions certain amounts can be given to charitable organizations directly from retirement accounts.
