Other Ways to Give
Charitable Distributions from IRAs
Congress has made the direct charitable distribution of IRA funds a permanent provision, so many Bread for the World members are making this part of their annual giving plan. Individuals 70 ½ years or older may contribute up to $100,000 to qualified charities.
To take advantage of this provision, a check must be sent from the IRA directly to Bread for the World Institute. You do not declare this withdrawal as income on your tax return, nor does it qualify for a charitable tax deduction. Thus this type of gift may be helpful to non-itemizers. A qualified charitable distribution, though, can satisfy part or all of the required minimum withdrawal from an IRA.
