​​If you're an IRA owner and don't need the money from the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), you might consider making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). If you’re at least 70½ years old, you can donate up to $108,000 in 2025 (up from $105,000 in 2024) directly from your IRA to a qualified charity like the BWAC and you won't owe income tax on the distribution. Plus, if you’re 73 or older, the donation counts toward your RMD for the year.

 

For those considering a gift from accounts like an IRA or 401K, please contact your financial manager about your intent to disburse funds to the BWAC and provide the BWAC information below, along with any information about timing and/or designation for your gift.
