Donate your IRA Required Minimum Distribution
For congregants that are 70 ½ or older, you can direct the required distribution of your IRA to UnityCR. 

When the transfer is made directly from the custodian of the IRA to a qualified charity, the distribution is excluded from the donor’s adjusted gross income (AGI) but still counts toward their required minimum distribution (RMD). For retired donors who do not need the required minimum distribution from their IRA, or at least a portion of it, this is an efficient and easy way to support UnityCR and reduce taxable income.
