Your legacy gift to Dupont Circle Village is an investment in something enduring—a community where neighbors support neighbors, where aging is met with dignity and connection, and where no one faces the challenges of a long life alone. By including DCV in your estate plans, you become part of a proud tradition of generosity that has made it possible for members to live actively, independently, and fully engaged in their community.
Every planned gift strengthens our ability to be there for members when it matters most—whether that means a ride to a medical appointment, a friendly voice on a difficult day, or access to programs that keep mind and body sharp. Your generosity and compassion ensure that future generations will have the same vibrant, caring community that DCV members cherish today.
A gift directly from your IRA to DCV is easy and tax-efficient. You can have your IRA plan custodian make a payment from your IRA directly to DCV. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution or an IRA Charitable Rollover.
This is a tax-smart option if you want to support DCV and don’t need all of your required minimum distribution in a year. It is also a way to use IRA funds to support DCV if you are at least 70-1/2 years old and have not started your required minimum distributions.
The transfer can be:
- Part or all of your required minimum distribution
- A contribution other than from your required minimum distribution.
Any transfer to DCV is excluded from your taxable income if you meet these requirements:
- You are at least 70-1/2 years old in the year of the transfer
- You may transfer up to $108,000 annually (this is the 2025 limit and is adjusted annually)
- If both you and your spouse have IRAs and meet the age requirement, you can each make a transfer, so your household limit is up to $216,000 annually (adjusted annually)
- You do not need to itemize deductions on your tax return to get this tax benefit
