IRA Required Mandatory Distribution
There is a another opportunity to partner with CLS for IRA owners over 70 1/2 who want to support CLS’ critical work. This opportunity allows the donor to satisfy required minimum distribution requirements by making a tax-free qualified charitable distribution from your IRA directly to CLS.
Designating CLS as recipient of your required mandatory distribution offers a non-cash gift option to allow you to be part of CLS’ vital ministries. Not only will you be joining us in this critical work, but you also have the potential for tax savings and the ability to partner with CLS on an even greater level.
Donating your IRA required mandatory distribution to CLS will help you:
- Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA to CLS
- Satisfy your required minimum distribution requirement for the year
- Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions
- Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts
- Allows you to participate in the work of CLS without making an out-of-pocket cash gift
If you would like to donate your IRA required mandatory distribution to CLS, please contact your financial institution immediately, as paperwork will need to be completed prior to each year-end.
In order for CLS to properly thank you for you gift, please let us know that you will be making a gift of IRA required mandatory distribution. Please contact CLS’ CFO, Peter Smith, at [email protected].
