Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
There are tax benefits to giving through a DAF. If you have questions, contact Christine Bove, Director, Development at christine.bove@fdny.nyc.gov.
IRA Charitable Rollovers (QCD)
IRA owners age 70½ or over can transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year. These transfers, known as qualified charitable distributions or QCDs, offer eligible older Americans a great way to easily support the FDNY Foundation before the end of the year. And, for those who are at least 73 years old, QCDs count toward the IRA owner’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.
If you have questions, contact Christine Bove, Director, Development at christine.bove@fdny.nyc.gov.
