Matching Gifts

When you make a matching gift, you can double or triple the impact of your contribution. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Ask your human resources department about your company's matching gift policy. Some companies also match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Please contact Colleen McElligott for more information.

Through an IRA Charitable Rollover

The IRA charitable rollover works like this: once you reach 70 ½, you can make up to $100,000 a year in gifts to charity directly from your IRA. Those gifts count towards the required minimum distributions you must take annually from your traditional IRAs, but aren’t included in your adjusted gross income. Of course, since the gifts aren’t counted in your income, you cannot claim an itemized charitable deduction for them. Please discuss this with your financial advisor or IRA administrator.
