Four Creative Paths to Show Support
The four options below represent exciting new ways to consider giving to Operation Walk Maryland while also making the most of your contributions:
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you’re aged 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, it’s possible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution directly from your IRA to Operation Walk Maryland. In doing so, you can fulfill your required minimum distribution (RMD) while enjoying potentially significant tax benefits.
Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund provides you with the flexibility to give to Operation Walk Maryland over time or work towards accumulating smaller gifts to have a larger impact. By contributing to a DAF, you can simplify your charitable giving, receive immediate tax benefits, and strategically manage your philanthropic efforts.
Legacy Income Trust
For those considering long-term support and wishing to leave a lasting legacy, a Legacy Income Trust can be a powerful option. By establishing a trust that benefits Operation Walk Maryland, you can ensure a steady stream of income for both yourself and our organization, fostering sustainable growth and impact for years to come.
Common Stock
If you are already holding stocks that you would like to dedicate to our cause, Operation Walk Maryland is also able to accept donations of common stock.
