A Qualified Distribution
Donor Advised Funds
Benefit KON with a Tax-Savings Qualified Distribution with your "IRA"
A Taxwise Qualified Distribution (QCD) is a simple and powerful way to give directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to Kappa Omicron Nu and decreasing your taxable income.
If you are age 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 per year from your IRA directly to KON which is an eligible nonprofit organization. The amount counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) but is excluded from your gross income, helping you lower your tax bill while supporting KON student scholarships and programs.
Benefits of a Taxwise Qualified Distribution
• Reduce your taxable income and simplify your charitable giving
• Satisfy your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
• Enjoy a tax benefit without itemizing deductions


A Flexible, Tax-Smart Way to Give to KON: Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple and efficient charitable giving account that allows you to contribute, grow, and recommend grants to your favorite nonprofit organizations all in one place. With a DAF, you can make a tax-deductible donation now and choose later which charities to support, providing flexibility for both strategic and spontaneous giving. You can set up an over-time distribution from the fund to benefit KON over a longer period of time.
