GHC Foundation - Tax-Free IRA Gifts

A Tax-Saving Way to Help the Grays Harbor College Foundation

If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit the Grays Harbor College Foundation and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified nonprofit such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution or QCD for short.

Why Consider This Gift?

• 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 are at least 72 years old and have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
• Since the gift does not count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.
