Charitable Giving

Donors 70 ½ and older have a new option for charitable giving

A provision in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, signed by President Bush on Aug. 17, 2006, allows people 70 ½ and older to transfer IRA assets directly to a charity.

By going directly to charity, the money is not included in the IRA owner’s income and is not taxed, preserving the full amount for charitable donations. The law covers gifts of up to $100,000. At the time of this writing, the deadline for making these transactions is Dec. 31, 2007.

The transfer counts toward the minimum required distributions. The gift generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so even those who do not itemize their tax returns receive the benefit.

For more information about how a donation from your IRA can benefit Willamette Valley Hospice, Linda Hays, Community Development Manager, 503.588.3600 ext. 283.
