Planned Giving
Donating your estate plan, life insurance, annuities, and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) to Sisters Habitat for Humanity can be a strategic way to support our mission while also providing potential tax advantages. By including Sisters Habitat in your estate plan, you ensure a lasting legacy that continues to build homes and improve lives. Life insurance and annuities can be designated to the organization, allowing your contribution to make a significant impact. Donating your RMDs can also reduce your taxable income, benefiting both you and the families served by Sisters Habitat for Humanity.
Donating your cans or your filled BottleDrop bags to Sisters Habitat for Humanity is an easy and impactful way to support affordable housing initiatives in our community. By participating, you can sign up to donate your BottleDrop account funds directly or conveniently drop off redeemable cans and bottles at the Sisters Habitat ReStore. Each donation helps fund the construction and renovation of affordable homes, making a tangible difference in lives.

Qualified Charitable Distribution
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to contribute up to $105,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distribution (RMD). For married couples, each spouse can make a QCD up to the $105,000 limit for a potential household total of $210,000. Because QCDs don’t increase taxable income, both higher tax rates and phaseouts can be avoided.
It’s important to note that QCDs are not counted toward the maximum amounts deductible for those who itemize their giving on their taxes—the $105,000 can be above and beyond those limits. To make a Qualified Charitable Distribution, contact the financial institution that holds your account and provide the information they request which likely will include the following:
Organization name: Sisters Habitat for Humanity
Mailing address: PO Box 238, Sisters, OR 97759
Legal address: 221 S Ash St, Sisters, OR 97759
EIN: 93-1039346
Charity type: 501(c)3
For a QCD to count toward your minimum annual IRA distribution, it must be made by December 31 of the tax year in question.
