There are many ways to support Shenandoah National Park. You can make a one-time or monthly donation, donate stock, buy a license plate, or even volunteer. And it doesn’t stop there. Below are some other ways you can support your park.
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you are 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution allows you to transfer funds directly from your traditional IRA to Shenandoah National Park Trust — a tax-smart way to support the Park. A QCD may also satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). The transfer must go directly from your IRA to SNPT to qualify.
For more information, contact Anna Patchias, Director of Leadership Giving, at apatchias@snptrust.org or (434) 293-2728.
Your financial advisor can help determine whether a QCD is right for your situation. Tax ID # 20-8685310
