Gifts that Reduce Taxes

IRA Charitable Rollover

You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to Three Little Pitties Rescue. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact in connecting animals with Furmilies who love them.

Here’s how it works:

  • You must be 70 ½ or older.

  • An individual may transfer up to a total of $100,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $200,000.

  • Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to Three Little Pitties Rescue.

  • Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to Three Little Pitties Rescue, so it does not create taxable income for you and is not considered a charitable tax deduction.

  • If you are 72 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution* from your IRA.


Gifts of Real Estate

You could consider donating real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property.

Potential benefits:

  • You could reduce your taxes;

  • You may live in your home or use your properties for the rest of your life while receiving monthly payments from Three Little Pitties Rescue.

Please Note: To ensure we are able to accept and use your gift as intended, please let us know if you are interested in using your gift of real estate to provide love, hope, and shelter for animals in need. Our team will be happy to help.


Gifts of Securities

You can use stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have grown in value to create your legacy with Three Little Pitties Rescue.

Potential benefits:

  • You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of what you give (up to a maximum percentage of your adjusted gross income as dictated by tax law);

  • You could possibly avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock you give.
