This August, we are sharing ways our members can practice smart giving and make their support go farther when donating to the ACMS Foundation. If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a gift directly from your traditional IRA to The American College of Mohs Surgery Foundation. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

Why it can be better than giving cash

✔️ Counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD): Once you’re required to take RMDs, a QCD can satisfy part or all of that amount.

✔️ May reduce taxable income: A QCD (up to the allowable annual limit under current law) generally is not included in your taxable income, which can be especially helpful if you do not itemize deductions or want to keep your adjusted gross income lower.

✔️ Tax‑efficient support for our mission: Because the distribution goes directly to the Foundation, it can be a very efficient way to support research, education, and patient care initiatives in Mohs surgery.

Every smart giving strategy you use helps strengthen the ACMS Foundation’s ability to:
🔵 Support research that improves outcomes for patients with skin cancer.
🔵 Enhance training and education for Mohs surgeons and dermatologic specialists.
🔵 Advance standards of care that protect patients’ health, function, and appearance.

This August, we are sharing ways our members can practice smart giving and make their support go farther when donating to the ACMS Foundation. An easy way to do this is to give the gift of stock or other appreciated assets directly to the Foundation.

Why it can be better than giving cash :

✔️ Avoid capital gains tax: If you’ve held the asset for more than one year, you can generally donate it without paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.

✔️ Potential larger deduction: You can typically deduct the full fair market value of the asset (subject to IRS limits), which may be greater than what you originally paid.

✔️ Give more at the same “cost”: Because you bypass capital gains tax, the Foundation receives the full value, and your out‑of‑pocket cost may be lower than if you sold the asset and gave the after‑tax proceeds.

Every smart giving strategy you use helps strengthen the ACMS Foundation’s ability to:
🔵 Support research that improves outcomes for patients with skin cancer.
🔵 Enhance training and education for Mohs surgeons and dermatologic specialists.
🔵 Advance standards of care that protect patients’ health, function, and appearance.

This August, we are sharing ways our members can practice smart giving and make their support go farther when donating to the ACMS Foundation. One of those smart giving strategies is to utilize a Donor Advised Fund.

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable account you establish with a sponsoring organization (such as a community foundation, Schwab Charitable, Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or another provider). You receive a tax deduction when you contribute to the DAF, then recommend grants to charities over time.

This can be better than giving the gift of cash because…

✔️ You may have already set funds aside: If you’ve contributed to a DAF in past years, you may have charitable dollars “parked” there, ready to be directed to the causes you care about—like advancing the science and practice of Mohs surgery.

✔️ Simplicity and flexibility: With just a few clicks, you can recommend a grant to the ACMS Foundation from your DAF, without affecting your current cash flow.

✔️ Potential to give more strategically: Because the tax deduction occurs when you fund the DAF—often with appreciated securities or during high‑income years—you can then thoughtfully recommend grants in the future, even in years when your financial situation changes.

Every smart giving strategy you use helps strengthen the ACMS Foundation’s ability to:

🔵 Support research that improves outcomes for patients with skin cancer.
🔵 Enhance training and education for Mohs surgeons and dermatologic specialists.
🔵 Advance standards of care that protect patients’ health, function, and appearance.
