IRA Distributions or Stock Donation

IRA Distributions If you receive a Required Minimum Distribution from an IRA (must be over 70-1/2 yrs. old), you can transfer that distribution directly to The Autism Council and avoid paying taxes on that money, while at the same time making a special gift to ACR. Consult your financial advisor to see if this is appropriate for you.

Stock Transfers Make a bigger impact by donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to The Autism Council. By donating through appreciated stock transfers, you receive tax relief from capital gains taxes. You should consult your financial advisor to see if this is appropriate for you.

A tax-deductible receipt confirming your donation will be mailed to you.
