At Big Gumdrop Outdoors (BGO), our mission is to educate urban youth about nature and inspire them to explore the great outdoors.
We believe in the transformative power of nature and are dedicated to building confident, creative, and responsible young leaders who will carry these values into their communities.
If you're 70½ or older, you have a unique opportunity to support BGO's mission through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). A QCD allows you to make a direct transfer from your IRA to a qualified charity like BGO, excluding the amount donated from your taxable income. This means you can fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while supporting a cause you care about, all without increasing your taxable income.
Why Consider a QCD to Support BGO?
Tax Benefits: By directing your RMD to BGO, you can reduce your taxable income, which may lower your tax liability.
Direct Impact: Your contribution will directly support programs that connect urban youth with nature, fostering a love for the environment and introducing them to careers in natural resources.
Simplicity: The process is straightforward and can be completed by contacting your IRA custodian.
