A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70 1/2 years old or older to donate up to $105,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.

Instruct your broker that you wish to have a check sent from your IRA to PROP Food Shelf. Please reach out to Matt Dymoke (mattd@propfood.org or 952.746.1890) with any questions.

Donate your Vehicle

Completing Your Donation is Easy! Here’s How It Works:

1)      Call Toll Free 866.398.GIVE (866.398.4483).  The CARS Vehicle Donor Support Team will walk you through the process, including arranging your free pick-up and helping you with steps to release your liability after you donate.

2)    Schedule Your Free Pick-up. In most cases, we can schedule the vehicle pick-up with a preferred licensed vendor on the initial call once the donation record has been completed.

3)    Receive a Donation Receipt. In most cases, you will receive an initial donation receipt from the tow driver at the time of your vehicle pick-up. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, donors are also mailed a thank-you letter within 30 days of the sale of the vehicle, which serves as a tax receipt. If the vehicle sells for more than $500 and the donor has provided their tax identification number, an IRS Form 1098-C will be mailed to the donor within 30 days of the sale stating the amount of gross proceeds (the maximum amount of your tax deduction) received from your donation.
