• IRA's typically are one of the assets that have the highest income tax impact on the owner when they take distributions. Because of this, they are an excellent source for charitable contributions. Following are ways in which to make gifts from your IRA:
  • You can list Healing Hands International as a beneficiary of your IRA when considering estate planning. When individuals inherit an IRA the recipients will bear income tax consequences from the proceeds. However, the proceeds from your IRA are not income taxable to a charity.
  • If you are age 70.5 or older you qualify to make a tax-efficient gift called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA. This distribution will also count toward satisfying an individual's required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.
• Not only can you make a tax wise gift from your IRA, you can have a significant impact on the mission of Healing Hands International.
• For assistance with your giving, contact Scott Saunders at 615-832-2000 or ssaunders@hhi.org. We can work with you and/or your advisors in planning your gift to meet your objectives and the needs of those whom we serve. Healing Hands International is a 501(c)(3) public charity and contributions are tax deductible when in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

• Gifts of stock that have been held for more than a year are an excellent source of taxwise gifts. Due to the nature of their growth in value over time, if sold, the owner typically will realize a capital gain. When gifted to a charity, the capital gain is avoided and the donor receives a deduction for the full value of the stock shares gifted.
• Not only can you make a taxwise gift from your stocks, you can have a significant impact on the mission of Healing Hands International.

• Your donation may be eligible for a match from your employer. All you need to do is check with the appropriate resource at your employer to see if they participate in matching employee gifts. If so, you may be able to increase your impact by 100% or more! The best part, it won’t cost you anything but an investment of time. However, it could allow you to accomplish at least twice as much in your efforts to further the mission of Healing Hands International.

Our treasures, such as valuable antiques, stamp and coin collections, works of art, cars, boats, and other personal property can make suitable charitable gifts today or after your lifetime. Your financial benefits of the gift depend on whether Healing Hands International can use the property in a way that is related to our mission.

Related use property — e.g., a tent that could be used in our disaster relief program — is deductible at the full fair market value. Any property that cannot be used in a way that is related to our mission is deemed nonrelated use property and the deduction would be limited to the lesser of fair market value or your tax basis in the property.

If the federal income tax charitable deduction claimed for a gift of tangible personal property exceeds $5,000, you must obtain an appraisal from a qualified appraiser and submit a special IRS form with the tax return on which the deduction is claimed.
