Making gifts to the Tea Party Patriots Foundation from traditional retirement accounts can allow you or your heirs to avoid paying income tax on distributions. In addition to designating Tea Party Patriots Foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement account, there are several advantageous ways to give from retirement accounts:
- Required Minimum Distributions (RMD):
If you are over age 72 and are required to distribute funds from your retirement plan, you can satisfy your annual RMD and avoid paying income tax on the distribution by giving directly to Tea Party Patriots Foundation.
- Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you are over age 70 ½, you can distribute up to $108,000* per year from your IRA directly to Tea Party Patriots Foundation without paying income tax. This counts toward your annual RMD fulfillment. (*Based on 2025 limits)
