How an IRA charitable rollover gift works
- Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to us.
- Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to our organization to help continue our important work.
- Please note that IRA charitable rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction.
- Please contact us if you wish for your gift to be used for a specific purpose.
Implications for other charitable giving
- You may make a one-time election of up to $53,000 for a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust.
- You may not take advantage of the IRA charitable rollover for gifts to a donor advised fund or supporting foundation.
- If you wish to make a gift to any of these vehicles using funds from an IRA, the distribution must be recognized as income and then you may take a charitable deduction for the gift to the public charity.
- We recommend consulting with your financial advisor or accountant to determine the best course of action for your personal situation.
