WANT TO REDUCE YOUR TAX BURDEN?
Turn Your Required Distributions into Charitable Donations to Cool Kids Campaign!
Did you know that IRS rules mandate that individuals 70 1/2 and older take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from their IRA each year? These withdrawals are subject to ordinary income taxes. By making your withdrawal a charitable contribution you can satisfy your RMD amount without reporting additional income. This means that you can help children with cancer and their families while lowering your tax bill – a win-win!
Please speak to your financial advisor to see if a charitable contribution from your IRA is right for you. If it is, we encourage you to select Cool Kids Campaign as your charity of choice. Your donation will make life a little brighter for a family dealing with pediatric cancer. If you’re not yet 70 1/2, please share this information with someone who is.
Annual Reports
Cool Kids Campaign holds events and solicits donations throughout the year to help pediatric oncology patients and their families. We offer numerous Programs through our Learning Center, offer the use of vacation properties to kids with cancer and their families and send Care Packages to kids in hospitals throughout the nation.
