IRA Charitable Rollover Gift
If you are age 70 1/2 or older, you may transfer up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to Family & Children’s Place. Your gift could provide direct support for the more than 6,000 children and family members we serve annually. Note that rollover gifts may not go to donor-advised funds, family support organizations, private foundations, gift annuities, or charitable remainder trusts.
Rollovers may not be claimed after-the-fact for distributions that you have withdrawn and cashed as it is required that funds transfer directly to Family & Children’s Place. To maximize your charitable impact, consider making an IRA Charitable Rollover gift each year now that Congress has permanently extended this provision.
Your rollover gifts may be counted towards your minimum distribution requirement from your IRA and is a tax-exempt distribution from your IRA. Your gift is tax-neutral on your federal tax bill – it will not be included in your income, but neither will it be deductible. A rollover gift is preferable to withdrawing cash from your IRA, paying tax on it, donating it to a public charity such as Family & Children’s Place and receiving a federal charitable deduction limited to no more than 50 percent of your contribution base, i.e., usually adjusted gross income.
