We would be happy to discuss these options with you.
捐赠基金
Funds designated as endowed are held in an investment account with a portion of the earnings used for specific purposes. While usages for both the General Foundation Endowment and the General Foundation Scholarship Endowment are determined by the Foundation Board, proceeds from named endowed scholarships are disbursed based on specific criteria determined in advance by the donor. All endowment payout rates are determined by the Athens State University Foundation Investment Committee on an annual basis dependent on the performance of the investment portfolio, with a target payout rate of five percent annually.

Qualified Charitable Distribution from an Individual Retirement Account
你知道吗?, if you are at least 72 years old, you can make tax-free charitable donations directly from your IRA? By making what’s called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), Athens State University can benefit! 这种类型的礼物, also known as “charitable IRA rollovers,” would otherwise be taxable IRA distributions.
Your required minimum distribution is there to support you and your loved ones in retirement. It can also provide benefits to students and Athens State University as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). A gift out of your RMD will not only be tax-free for you but also provides direct support.
You can exclude up to $100,000个qcd from your gross income each year. And if you file a joint return, your spouse (if 72 or older) can exclude an additional $100,000个qcd. Note: You don’t get to deduct QCDs as a charitable contribution on your federal income tax return — that would be double-dipping.
QCDs count toward satisfying any required minimum distributions (RMDs) that you would otherwise have to receive from your IRA. 然而, distributions that you actually receive from your IRA (including RMDs) and subsequently transfer to a charity cannot qualify as QCDs.
Benefits of sharing your distribution with Athens State:
- Direct a tax-free transfer of up to $100,000 per year to Athens State University Foundation and allow you to exclude the amount from taxable income.
- Use the funds to create or add to an endowment named after yourself or a loved one, or designate the funds for Athens State’s greatest need.
- Sit back and know that you’re helping the University that helped you all while enjoying a bit of tax savings.
Qualified Charitable Donations must be set up by December 31 of the tax year in which you plan to use the tax benefit.
