An Easy Way to Help Our Work with Your IRA

• Daniel: "I really wanted to make a larger gift than normal, but I had questions about the best way to fund my gift. I was also concerned about conserving my cash resources for the future."

Daniel learned about the possibility of using his IRA to make a gift for this program. Because Daniel was already over 70½, he could take advantage of the IRA rollover option this year and make the gift to us directly from his IRA

• Daniel: "I knew that I didn't really need all the income from my IRA this year. I had enough income from sales of my investments to cover my living expenses."

Daniel decided to rollover $55,000 from his IRA to our organization. He was able to continue to make his normal charitable contributions in addition to the IRA gift without exceeding federal limits.

• Daniel: "I was thrilled to discover that I could transfer money from my IRA to a nonprofit organization without paying any federal income tax. The fact that my gift qualified for my required minimum distribution amount was an added bonus!"

Is an IRA rollover gift right for you?

Individuals age 73 and older must take "required minimum distributions" from their IRA each year. With the IRA charitable rollover, these individuals can transfer up to $111,000 per year directly to a nonprofit organization, and it satisfies the required minimum distribution.
