You can help by become a sustaining member of Distant Hill with a gift of as little as $5 per month.

 

Our monthly, quarterly, and annual donors are critical to our efforts, and we greatly appreciate your generosity.

Thank you in advance!

Can't Decide If You Should Become a Recurring Subscriber?

Check out this wonderful article, "Updating My Subscriptions", published in the New Hampshire Bulletin by one of Distant Hill's monthly donors, Stephanie White Ferland. In the article, Stephanie explains why her monthly subscriptions to Distant Hill and other nonprofits she cares about truly matter.

 

"I wonder if collectively we could think about the things that matter to us, and ask ourselves how we might better support them, even in the smallest of ways. What if we decided to 'subscribe' to something that both matters and makes us feel good?"

 

Qualified Charitable Deductions (QCD) from an IRA

A Tax-wise Giving Strategy

 

If you hold an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) you are required to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) each year beginning at age 72½, even if you don’t need or want the funds. That same required minimum distribution increases your total taxable income in the year it is distributed.

 

But if you are over 72½, you can gift funds from your IRA at a tax savings.*

Here’s how it works:

  • Your gift must be transferred directly from your IRA account to Friends of Distant Hill or any qualified charity.  
  • Your gift is considered a transfer of funds from your IRA to Distant Hill and does not increase your taxable income for the year.
  • You may transfer up to a total of $100,000 per year for an individual, or $200,000 for a married couple.
  • You can support multiple charities, as long as the sum of your yearly distributions is within the $100,000 / $200,000 limits.
  • Because QCDs (also called IRA charitable distributions or IRA charitable rollovers) don’t increase taxable income, both higher tax rates and phaseouts of certain tax deductions can be avoided.

* Please seek advice from your financial advisor regarding the tax implications of your gift.
