Donate through an IRA Charitable Rollover

You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help further our mission. If you are 70½ or older, you may also be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. An IRA charitable rollover is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.


IRA (Custodian) → Nonprofit

 

 

Benefits of an IRA charitable rollover

  • Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $108,000 from your IRA to our organization

  • May satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year

  • Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions

  • Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts

  • Help further the work and mission of our organization

 

How an IRA charitable rollover gift works

  1. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to us

  2. Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to our organization to help continue our important work

  3. Please note that IRA charitable rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction

  4. Please contact us if you wish for your gift to be used for a specific purpose

 

Gifts from your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, you can use your IRA to fulfill your charitable goals. We will acknowledge your generous gifts as a qualified charitable distribution, which may satisfy your RMD, if applicable.

Donate through an Donor Advised Fund

A donor advised fund (or DAF) might be a great solution for you. You can use a DAF to distribute gifts to numerous charities. With a DAF, you can make gifts to charity during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
 

Stock or Cash → Donor Advised Fund → Nonprofit

 

 

You enjoy several benefits with your donor advised fund

  • Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving

  • Benefit from a more tax and cost efficient alternative to a private foundation

  • Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift

 

How a donor advised fund works

  1. You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization

  2. The assets in your DAF grow tax-free

  3. You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF

 

Gifts from your donor advised fund

  • Your donor advised fund has several advantages. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to us and other nonprofits. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
