Charitable donation from my 401k

Is it possible to make a charitable donation from my 401k to a church or another non-profit without tax-consequences?

Answer:

If you plan to include retirement assets in a charitable donation, you should consider how it may affect your finances. In some cases, it can be more beneficial to designate the charity of your choice as the beneficiary of your retirement account. It also might be possible to direct a distribution to a charity.
