Bequeathing Your IRA, Stocks or Other Retirement Accounts

Naming NWABA as a beneficiary of your IRA or other qualified retirement account, including stock accounts, is easy to do. Simply update the “Beneficiary Form”, on your retirement plan’s website and provide the contact information and Tax ID/EIN number above.

How to make an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution gift:

Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your (Required Minimum Distribution) RMD to NWABA and provide the contact information and Tax ID/EIN number above. Please keep in mind that a QCD must be initiated by your retirement fund directly and mailed directly to NWABA. If the funds pass through you, in any way, the tax benefits outlined above do not apply. Be sure to contact Kim Hash, Director of Philanthropy at 360.984.5506, or khash@nwaba.org, before beginning the donation process, so that our broker can be alerted to the incoming gift.
