A Tax-Saving Way to Help Your Favorite Charity

If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit your charity and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money.

This law no longer has an expiration date so you are free to make annual gifts this year and well into the future.

Why Consider a Gift?

  • Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making in your favorite charity
  • You desire to benefit the charity in the future
  • You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
  • If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
  • You desire to leave a legacy
