Donate From Your IRA

Many donors over 70.5 years of age choose to give directly from their IRAs as a financially conscious and convenient way to benefit Americares, and we have made the process easy for you. IRA gifts are a compassionate way to fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), and help you save on taxes since they don’t count toward your taxable income. We have invested in an IRA donation tool that makes the process simple and fast, so that you can make your impact in just a few minutes! Get started below.

We appreciate your interest in having your gift matched by your organization. The steps for working with your matching gift administrator or matching gift portal will be listed below if your workplace has a program in place.
