Now and for the future

Donor-advised funds are like charitable investment accounts. You put your money into a donor advised fund, receive a tax benefit, and share charitable contributions on your schedule to support the issues and causes you care about. They are a powerful way to provide much-needed funds to conserve the wildlife, water, and wild places of Tennessee.

Simply contact your donor-advised fund’s account manager and initiate a gift in any amount to:

Tennessee Wildlife Federation
300 Orlando Avenue, Nashville, TN 37209

Federal Tax ID Number: 62-6047188

A gift of appreciated securities like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds will support our mission to lead the conservation, sound management, and wise use of Tennessee’s wildlife and great outdoors.

When you transfer ownership of securities to Tennessee Wildlife Federation, you will receive a charitable deduction for the full market value and incur no capital gains tax, subject to IRS deductible limitations.

The process is simple. Provide your financial advisor or brokerage firm with the following information to make an electronic delivery through Depository Trust Company (DTC).

DTC Number: 0725
Account Name: Tennessee Wildlife Federation
Account Number: 29470632

We encourage you to alert us in advance with the details of your appreciated gift so we can properly acknowledge your donation. Electronic security transfers do not necessarily provide us with your information.

An IRA Rollover Contribution, also known as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), is a distribution of funds from your IRA directly to a qualified charitable organization, such as Tennessee Wildlife Federation.

Because the gift goes directly to the charity without passing through your hands, the dollar amount of the gift may be excluded from your taxable income up to a maximum of $100,000 annually, with some exceptions. Also, because you paid into your IRA with pre-tax dollars, IRA Rollover Contributions allow you to enjoy a double tax benefit as you then distribute those dollars directly to a nonprofit without paying taxes on them this time either!

Please consult your tax advisor for information regarding your specific exceptions. IRA Rollover Contributions cannot be made from a SEP or Simple IRA.

To learn more about QCDs, please visit IRS.gov

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can be made by IRA owners who are age 70.5 or older.

Once IRA owners reach the age of 72, they are required to take a minimum distribution from their account. Many individuals who are required to take money from their IRA, but do not need it for living expenses, have chosen to make contributions from their IRAs to support the work of favorite charities (like Tennessee Wildlife Federation!) and enjoy the tax benefits.

Your qualified charitable distribution (QCD) must be made directly from your IRA custodian to the Federation on your behalf.

Each financial institution has its own process for initiating a qualified charitable distribution. Your financial institution will have the required forms to fill out and can assist you with any questions you may have. Your financial institution can also ensure you receive any potential tax benefits associated with this type of gift.

To help you make this process as easy as possible, you can download and complete our IRA rollover contribution initiation form. Completing this form and sending it to your financial institution may expedite the process, although additional paperwork may be required.
