Contribute to the AVHG using a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) from an IRA when you must take a required minimum distribution at 701/2 or over which is normally taxable. When using a QCD the distribution is tax-exempt then the payment is made from your IRA directly to the AVHG. See IRS publication 590-B for more information or contact your tax advisor to determine whether a QCD will benefit you.
