You can have impact that will last for generations. It can be as easy as designating The San Diego River Park Foundation as a beneficiary in your will.
You can also name The San Diego River Park Foundation as a residual beneficary. In this way you take care of loved ones first and support your passion for nature with any remaining funds.
You can direct these funds for specific purposes such as the River Center, Open Space Conservation or Youth Education, or designate them for general support to give The San Diego River Park Foundation the greatest flexibility to meet future needs.
We would love the opportunity to discuss with you what inspires you and what you want your legacy to be.
Your commitment through a charitable planned or estate gift benefitting The San Diego River Park Foundation will qualify you for membership in the San Diego River Park Legacy Society. Of course, if you prefer, as many do, your commitment can remain anonymous.
Society members will be recognized in the San Diego River Center at Grant Park when it opens (scheduled for 2043) and in our annual report, plus all benefits as a Director Circle Member.

Put Your IRA to Work Today - Make a QCD
If you are 70 1/2 years of age or older, this may be a wonderful way for you to support things you care about.
As a 501c3 public benefit charity, we are qualified to receive gifts of all or part of your required minimum distribution! And it is tax-free!
Whether it is $1000, $5000 or the maximum of $105,000, the tax benefits can be significant.
A check for a QCD needs to be made to "The San Diego River Park Foundation."
QCDs are not considered taxable income. That means it won't push you into a higher tax bracket or trigger some phaseouts, which limit some kinds of tax deductions or trigger high taxes on Social Security income. There are other potential benefits, too.
This giving option is made directly from your traditional IRA, inherited IRA, inactive SEP and inactive SIMPLE IRAs.
Did you know QCDs can't go into a Donor Advised Fund? But The San Diego River Park Foundation, since we aren's a private foundation, is qualified to accept QCDs. We are a 501c3 public benefit nonprofit. EIN 01-0565671.

Please contact your IRA advisor to learn more.
While it isn't eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction, the benefits of not having the distribution count as income, can be significant.
If you like, you are welcome to personally mail or drop off your gift, but the funds must come directly from your IRA (that is, you can't get a distribution in your name and then write a personal check).
As a 501c3, The San Diego River Park Foundation is eligible to receive these gifts. Please check with your IRA advisor if you have any questions. Thank you!
There are other means which you can support those things you care about. If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
