Giving from Your Retirement Plan
How It Works
- Name the Natural Resources Defense Council as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified plan.
- Designate us to receive all or a portion of the balance of your plan through your plan administrator.
- The balance in your plan passes to NRDC after your death.
