Tax-Smart Giving

Give through Your IRA

How can I give through my IRA?

If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit a non-profit and receive tax benefits in return. You can give any amount up to $100,000 per year from your IRA directly without having to pay income taxes on the money. This is known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) and is commonly called the IRA Charitable Rollover.

 

What are the benefits of giving through my IRA?

  • Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA
  • 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 60% deduction limits on charitable gifts
  • Help further the work and mission of the Kingdom
