Charitable Giving

Give more money to Uncle Sam or give more money to your favorite charity?

The choice is yours using Qualified Charitable Distributions and other tax-advantaged donation strategies!

At A Better Way Financial, we are proud to support the charities that we love. We also know how important supporting charities is to many of our clients. That is why we have worked with them to ensure that as much of their donations are reaching those charities as possible and in the most tax-efficient manner. One of the ways that we do that is through qualified charitable distributions (QCDs).

QCDs are a direct transfer from your IRA, payable to a qualified charity of your choice. QCDs can help satisfy your required minimum distributions for the year, and are excluded from your taxable income, (unlike regular withdrawals from your IRA). If you are donating to charities anyway, QCDs allow you to do it with pre-tax dollars. You do not pay the taxes on the funds and neither does the charity – it’s a WIN-WIN situation!!!

Charities We Support

Proudly Supporting Our Community and Beyond

The Gress Mountain RanchA Better Way Financial is proud to support The Gress Mountain Ranch.

The Gress Mountain Ranch is 100% volunteer-run and 100% funded by your donations! Fundraising is essential to the survival of the ranch.

We always need volunteers to help at the ranch and fundraising events like parades and fairs. Please help the animals who help people by donating or volunteering today!

Tim Tebow FoundationWe chose to partner with the Tim Tebow Foundation because they exist to bring Faith, Hope, and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. The foundation helps children all around the world in many ways: including orphan care and prevention, supporting children with special needs and profound medical needs, as well as work in anti-human trafficking. A Better Way Financial shares many of the same beliefs and values and is proud to support the Tim Tebow Foundation. We encourage you to partner with us to help these children by donating today!

Give Hope AfricaGive Hope Africa is a charity organization registered in the U.S. and the U.K. (as Give Hope Trust) with a vision of seeing all children grow and live up to their full potential. They facilitate child sponsorship programs and mobilize resources through donations towards supporting projects that benefit children, youth and women. They currently support projects in Zambia and Ethiopia. A Better Way Financial has an added interest in this charity since Nick’s wife, Melat, is Ethiopian.

Allentown Rescue MissionAllentown Rescue Mission is a non-denominational, Christian, social services organization, which provides critically needed goods and services to homeless and impoverished men, without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, or religion.

A Better Way Financial believes in supporting our local charities as well as far-reaching, global initiatives that will help save and improve lives.
