Donor Advised Funds (DAF)
Stock Donations
- Determine the amount of securities you’d like to donate.
- Provide your broker with the routing information (please contact One Soldier At A Time to obtain account name, account number, DTC number, and federal tax ID)
- Contact One Soldier At A Time for a donation receipt. Brokerage firms do not include the name of the donor when transferring securities.
IRA Qualified Charitable Contributions
People who are age 70 ½ or older can contribute up to $100,000 from their IRA directly to a charity, like One Soldier At A Time, and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution.
The gift must be directly routed from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to One Soldier At A Time. This unique gift structure also allows you to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without claiming it as income.
How it works:
- You must be 70½ or older at the time the gift is made.
- Request a direct transfer of funds from your IRA plan custodian to One Soldier At A Time to qualify as a tax-free gift.
- Provide your plan custodian with the account routing information (please contact One Soldier At A Time for these details).
Funds held in other plans such as a 401(k) or 403(b) plan are not eligible but may be rolled over to a standard IRA and then be used for a tax-free gift to charity.
Plan custodians do not always identify the donor, so please notify One Soldier At A Time when you donate so your gift can be matched to you when it arrives.
Wills and Trusts
Remembering One Soldier At A Time in your will is easy. You may leave a percentage or specify the dollar amount. Simply advise your attorney to include an estate gift specifically to “One Soldier At A Time, Inc.” in your will.
