Make a Difference with Your IRA

​Using your IRA’s required minimum distributions (RMDs) to support Pet Network Humane Society is a smart, tax-efficient way to give back. By directing your IRA distributions toward our mission, you can reduce your taxable income while helping save the lives of animals in need.
Benefits of Donating Through an IRA RMD
Tax Advantages
If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to Pet Network Humane Society, which counts toward your RMD for the year. This strategy allows you to reduce your taxable income, even if you don’t itemize your deductions.
​
Maximize Your Giving
When you make a QCD, the funds are transferred directly from your IRA to Pet Network, ensuring that your contribution is impactful while lowering your adjusted gross income (AGI), which can offer additional tax benefits.
​
Direct, Simple Process
IRA contributions are straightforward. You can request your IRA administrator to transfer your RMD directly to Pet Network Humane Society, ensuring that your donation is tax-free and goes straight to work helping animals in need.
