For details on the tax implications, please consult an accountant and online resources, such as "Donating to Charity Using Money From an IRA" (Investopedia).
To make the donation, ask your IRA provider how to make a qualified charitable contribution via check and make your check out to Every.org.
Every.org
Memo: <your email or @username, optional> <URL of the campaign or nonprofit to support>
("@mark every.org/irc")
Then mail the check to:
Every.org
58 West Portal Ave, #781
San Francisco, CA 94127
Please make sure the check and envelope is addressed to Every.org, not the nonprofit's name, otherwise we won't be able to process the check. You may also email us at team@every.org with the memo or to confirm that we have received your check.
We will attribute the donation accordingly:
- If we receive BOTH your @username and a nonprofit/campaign: we will add a donation for that nonprofit/campaign to your account, and by default we will share your name and email with the nonprofit (unless you contact us to specify otherwise).
- If we receive only a nonprofit/campaign in the memo, we will send that amount to that nonprofit/campaign as an anonymous donation (we will not share your information with the nonprofit).
- If we receive only your email or @username, we will credit your account's gift card balance for the amount received, which you can use to support as many nonprofits as you'd like from the web interface.
- If we do not receive any information by the time the wire/ACH is received, we will apply it towards running Every.org.
