IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA. Please contact us in advance if you wish to give a gift through your IRA via a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Special arrangements for this type of gift are required.

You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help strengthen our community. If you are 70½ or older you may also be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. An IRA charitable rollover is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.
