Donate Stocks and Mutual Funds

Stocks and securities that have increased in value and have been held for at least a year and a day can be deducted as charitable contributions at full market value when transferred to a charity/nonprofit such as Interfaith Works. For tax purposes, the date of transfer applies. Your stock transfer must be made directly to Interfaith Works to qualify as a charitable contribution. Please contact Teri Blandon at tblandon@iworksmc.org for instructions.  

Give from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

If you are 70½ years or older, you can make annual distributions of up to $108,000 (per individual) in qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from your IRA. Your gift also counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) depending on your age. Note that even though the SECURE Act raised the RMD age to 73 (74, if you reached age 73 after December 31, 2024), the QCD age remains 70½, so QCDs can be used for charitable giving even before RMDs begin. To take advantage of this provision, your IRA administrator must issue a check directly to Interfaith Works.   

Community Investment Tax Credits to Incentivize

Interfaith Works has been awarded an allocation of $15,000 in Maryland State Community Investment Tax Credits to incentivize contributions to the IW Women’s Center at Taft Court. Businesses and individualsthat donate $500 or more can earn tax credits equal to 50% of the value of the donated money, goods, or real property. These tax credits are in addition to the deductions on both Federal and Maryland State taxes as a result of the charitable contribution.  

Individuals and businesses must use the tax credits against taxes owed for the year in which the contribution was made and may not be used retroactively for taxes from a prior year. Any individual or business contemplating making a donation is encouraged to consult with their accountant or tax professional for information about their specific tax benefits. For more information and current balance of credits, please view our profile on GIVE Maryland. 

Please see this flyer for more information and reach out to Alex at across@iworksmc.org for an Interfaith Works specific version of this waiver or any additional questions.
