Did you know you can make a tax-smart gift from your IRA at age 70½?

If you are 70½ or older, you have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact-while also lowering your taxable income. By making a gift directly from your IRA, you can support the work you care about without increasing your taxable income.

This kind of gift, often called an IRA charitable rollover, comes with several benefits:

  • You can give up to $111,000 directly from your IRA—tax-free
  • It can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD)
  • You can enjoy a lower adjusted gross income, even if you don't itemize deductions
  • Your gift is not subject to charitable deduction limits
  • Most importantly, it helps further our mission and serve our community
