Easy IRA Gift

Barbara retired after forty years as a teacher. She had volunteered for many years with Jewish Federation of Las Vegas. Since Barbara did not need the income, she decided to make a gift of $2,000 from her IRA to reflect her support.

Barbara: My pension had benefited from the last stock market boom. I had more IRA income than I needed to cover my living expenses. I saw all of the good Jewish Federation of Las Vegas had accomplished over the years and wanted to give something back.

Barbara called our gift planner and learned of a simple and easy method to make a gift to benefit our organization. Now that she was over age 70½, she had the option of rolling over up to $100,000 from her IRA to charity without paying any taxes.

Barbara called her IRA custodian and requested a transfer of her $2,000 required distribution from her IRA directly to Jewish Federation of Las Vegas.

Barbara: It was very easy to make an IRA charitable gift. The part I like best is that I could help my favorite charity with my required distribution.
