Donate highly appreciated stock to Wat Buddhanusorn. This type of donation will give Wat Buddhanusorn the full current value as a donation and you will receive the full amount as a tax deduction for the current year. By doing so you are also eliminating capital gains tax on the stock which you have donated.
We also accept RMD (Required Minimum Distributions) as donations directly from your IRA. The Federal Government requires that you begin to take distributions from your retirement accounts at age 70.5 years old and pay tax on that distribution.
Under this plan you can make donations to Wat Buddhanusorn directly from IRA to satisfy your RMD requirement and eliminate any tax you would have had to pay on the RMD.
*Please consult your tax advisor to see if you qualify for these programs before making a donation. You can also email us for more details at fundraising@watbuddha.org.
