IRA Giving.

Transforming Lives: Giving through Your IRA

At Herzog's Heroes, we're committed to exploring diverse avenues of support that empower you to make a meaningful impact on the lives of dogs and the community. Donating through your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) offers a strategic way to contribute while potentially enjoying tax advantages. Discover the benefits of IRA charitable giving and how you can leverage this opportunity to drive positive change.

Why Donate through Your IRA

1. Maximize Your Impact: IRA charitable donations enable you to make a substantial contribution to our mission, potentially larger than what you might give from other assets.

2. Tax Advantages: If you're 70½ years old or older, you can direct up to $100,000 from your IRA to Herzog's Heroes without incurring federal income tax on the withdrawal.

3. Satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): Donating your RMD directly to Herzog's Heroes can count towards your required minimum distribution and reduce your taxable income.

How to Donate through Your IRA

1. Consult Your Advisor: Speak with your financial advisor to determine if donating through your IRA aligns with your financial and philanthropic goals.

2. Contact Your IRA Administrator: Inform your IRA administrator about your intention to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to Herzog's Heroes.

3. Direct Distribution: Your administrator will facilitate a direct distribution from your IRA to Herzog's Heroes. The funds will be sent directly to us, and you won't have to pay income taxes on the distributed amount.

4. Notify Us: To ensure proper acknowledgment and recognition, please inform us about your donation by contacting us.

5. Impactful Change: Your IRA donation will contribute to the betterment of dogs' lives, the advancement of ethical breeding practices, and the support of responsible ownership.

Empower Change with Your IRA

By donating through your IRA, you can help us drive positive change in the dog breeding industry while enjoying potential tax benefits. This strategic giving approach not only transforms the lives of dogs and their caregivers but also showcases your commitment to responsible philanthropy.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to [contact email/phone number]. Your IRA has the power to make a lasting difference, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Thank you for considering this impactful way of giving. Together, we can create a world where dogs thrive, breeders uphold ethical practices, and responsible giving fuels transformation.
