IRA Charitable Rollovers
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit youth in Lowell and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money.
Why an IRA Charitable Rollover?
- Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
- You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
- If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
If you’d like to designate the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell as the beneficiary of your IRA required minimum distribution, contact your IRA broker or administrator who will issue a check directly to the Boys & Girls Club.
