Donor FAQs
Why is Agvaluad a 501(c)(3) Public Charity?
Agvaluad is a 501(c)(3) so that qualifying donations may be deducted on Federal Income Tax Returns. Donations to public charities generally enjoy higher AGI deduction limits than donations to foundations.
How can I validate that Agvaluad is a 501(c)(3)?
You may search for us here https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/search-for-tax-exempt-organizations by the name agvaluad or by the EIN 412346776
What is the best way to donate from my IRA?
Instead of withdrawing funds in the form of a required minimum distribution (RMD) you may want to consider a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). QCDs can count toward your RMD. See this explanation from Fidelity https://www.fidelitycharitable.org/guidance/philanthropy/qualified-charitable-distribution.html

How much of my donation goes toward projects?
100% of donations will go toward projects that expand the agricultural value chain for local farmers. Funds will be channeled through LCD SACCO, who will lend funds to projects.
