You can help us confront lung cancer by incorporating a future gift to GO2 for Lung Cancer in your retirement planning.
Why give from your retirement plan
Did you know that your retirement fund can be taxed up to 80% if passed on to heirs—but is tax-free when given to charity. Making GO2 for Lung Cancer a beneficiary of your retirement plan helps ensure that more of your estate reaches the causes most important to you.
A gift from your retirement account is right for you if:
- You hold a 401(k), IRA, or other retirement plan.
- You want a simple way to include charities in your estate planning.
- You want to make a future gift to GO2 for Lung Cancer through your estate.
- You are concerned about the tax implication from this asset for your heirs.
How to give from your retirement plan
Help us confront lung cancer on every front, every day, for everyone by supporting our important work with a gift from your retirement account. Simply request a “Change of Beneficiary” form from your plan administrator. No lawyers are needed. And if your needs change in the future? It’s easy to make other adjustments.
Why give from your IRA
Giving a gift from your IRA directly to charity can reduce your tax burden and fulfill your charitable interests.
A gift from an IRA is right for you if:
- You are 70.5 or older, AND
- You do not need the IRA income (required minimum distribution) this year, OR
- You are taking the standard deduction on your taxes.
By giving directly from your IRA, you can exclude that distribution from your adjusted gross income, which might keep you out of a higher tax bracket.
