What Non-Profits Need to Know
Qualified Retirement Plans (401(k), 403(b), SEP, IRA, etc) are the fastest growing asset category in the United States and increasingly comprise the largest or one of the largest elements of many donors' portfolios. Knowing how to navigate the complex world of qualified retirement plans, how to talk with donors about using retirement plan assets to make charitable gifts, both currently and through their estates, can unlock significant funds for charitable purposes. This session will look at the range of retirement plans, the rules about transfers to charity, the impact of inheriting a qualified plan, and the ways in which non-profits representatives can work with donors to make significant gifts and navigate the waters of the tax code.
