You may find benefits in making a direct distribution from your IRA to Defenders of Wildlife if the gift qualifies as an IRA Charitable Rollover under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
- Who Qualifies?
Individuals who are age 70½ at the time of the contribution (you have to wait until your actual 70½ birthday to make the transfer). - How much can I transfer?
$100,000 per year in 2006 and 2007 - From what accounts can I make transfers?
Transfers must come from IRAs directly to the charity. If you have retirement assets in a 401(k), 403(b) etc., you must first roll these assets into an IRA, and then direct the transfer from the IRA to Defenders of Wildlife. - To what charities can I make gifts?
Tax exempt organizations like Defenders of Wildlife to which deductible contributions can be made. - Can I use the transfer to fund life-income gifts (CRTs, CGAs, PIFs or the like)?
No, these are not eligible. - Can I use donor advised funds or supporting organizations?
No, these are not eligible. - How does Defenders of Wildlife count the gift?
Defenders of Wildlife would recognize and give credit for the entire gift amount, just as it would for any outright gift.
