Turn Your Required Minimum Distribution

Into a Work of Art

If you’re 73 or older and must take RMDs, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA.

Your donation keeps creativity alive in communities where art has been silenced and neglected. Every dollar brings workshops, exhibitions, and opportunity to new voices in the Rio Grande Valley.

Make My Gift Tax-Free
Why?

Art is more than expression, it’s memory, identity, and belonging.

At Flores De Arte Foundation, every gift restores what neglect has stolen from our communities, the freedom to create.

Your donation doesn’t just support an organization, it revives opportunity.

It gives a young artist their first set of brushes, a forgotten neighborhood its first public mural, and an entire region the chance to believe that creativity still matters.

When you give through Flores De Arte, you give people back their voice, and you ensure that South Texas will be remembered not only for its resilience, but for its art.

Your Next Crucial Steps

Making a QCD is simple, but it must be done correctly to receive the tax benefit.


Here’s how to ensure your gift is processed smoothly

  1. Contact your IRA custodian.
    Ask them to issue a check directly payable to the Flores De Arte Foundation.
    (Your name can still appear in the memo line for acknowledgment.)

  2. Mail or transfer your contribution to:
    Flores De Arte Foundation
    PO Box 806, Mercedes Texas 78570
    EIN: 39-2566582 (IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization)

  3. Notify us of your gift.
    Email info@floresdearte.org or use the form below to let us know your contribution is on its way.

    This ensures we can provide a proper charitable acknowledgment for your records.

  4. Enjoy the benefit.
    Your QCD counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without being included in your taxable income.
    That means more of your generosity goes directly to supporting art and artists across South Texas.
