IRA Charitable Rollover

The IRA Charitable Rollover is now a permanent provision of the federal tax code.  It allows donors who are age 70.5 to donate up to $100,000 each year from their IRA.  The contribution counts towards your Required Minimum Distribution yet it is not included in your income.  A gift from your IRA provides an excellent opportunity to make a gift during your lifetime from an asset that is often subject to multiple layers of taxation if left in your estate.

Transfers must be made directly from a traditional IRA account by your IRA plan administrator.  Gifts from 401(k), 403(b), SEP, or other plans do not qualify for this provision.  Contact your plan administrator to initiate.

Gift of Securities

A gift of appreciated securities provides you with a tax deduction for the securities’ full value at the time of the gift and avoids capital gains tax that you would otherwise owe if the securities were sold.

Unique/In-Kind Gifts

There are many ways you can make a difference through gifts of property, precious metals, a used vehicle (running or not!), or goods or services that would bring in a cash donation if sold in a live or silent auction (think: a week/weekend at your vacation home, a catered dinner in your garden…)
