| | RMDs and Charitable Giving | |
What are RMDs and why do they matter to nonprofits?
RMD stand for Required Minimum Distributions. As of January 1, 2023, the age that plan participants must start taking RMDs has increased from 72 to 73. With this change, participants will have an additional year to delay taking a mandatory withdrawal of deferred savings from their retirement accounts. The age for RMDs will rise again, to 75, in 2033.
Retirees can donate all, or a portion of, their required minimum distribution (RMD) directly to charity. It's called a qualified charitable distribution or QCD. An option for retirees is to make a qualified charitable distribution and contribute directly to a qualified 501(c)(3) public charity without counting the distribution as taxable income. Thus, donors can receive a tax benefit from a charitable contribution even if they do not itemize deductions. Many nonprofits benefit from receiving QCDs from donors because of this reduction in taxable income. If you have older donors, promoting QCDs might be a benefit.
| | Christie's RAGBRAI Adventure | |
OneSource Center CEO, Christie Brown, is attempting a 500 mile bike ride across Iowa as a fundraiser for OneSource Center. RAGBRAI is an annual bike ride (not a race!) this year beginning in Sioux City on July 23 and ending 7 days later in Davenport.
Christie loves a challenge and so thought this would be a unique way to raise funds for our work supporting the local nonprofit community. The fundraising is through a RAGBRAI GoFundMe connection, with all funds raised coming directly to OneSource Center. If you'd like to follow Christie's adventure, you can see posts on our Facebook page and she will also regularly update her Adventure blog here.

Grantmakers Spill The Secrets Of Getting Funded
Winning a slice of the hundreds of millions of foundation dollars given away each year is a perennial concern for fundraisers. Your odds will be improved more by the quality of your grant applications than the quantity. “Spending a lot of time on a few good fits is much more productive than spreading your time on a lot of poorly conceived applications, very few of which will stick,” according to Shawn Morested, vice president of grants for New York Community Trust.
The topic was the focus of a panel discussion on foundation funding trends featuring her and Sabrina Hargrave, director of programs for Brooklyn Community Foundation, at the recent Fundraising Day in New York conference, the annual gathering of the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ New York City chapter (AFP-NYC).
