Give from your IRA

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for those 70 ½ or older to donate from their IRA, while also counting towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution.

With this secure online tool, you can save time filling out all the necessary forms from your IRA custodian or print out what you need to get started.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor advised fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to the FNIH and other qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.

This quick and secure online tool from our partner, FreeWill, can help you easily recommend a grant today in just a few minutes.

Beneficiary Designation

Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their wills or estates. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using:

  • IRAs and retirement plans
  • Life insurance policies
  • Commercial annuities

Using this free online tool, you can log all of your assets, name the FNIH as a beneficiary to support our mission, and receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker.

Cryptocurrency

Donating cryptocurrency is a tax-efficient way to support our mission. With a gift of crypto, you can avoid capital gains tax and potentially receive a federal tax deduction for the gift's full market value.
