Individual Retirement Account Gifts
This is an easy way for you to contribute to The Club without tax complications. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 allows tax-free distributions from traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Account assets to qualified charitable organizations.
During 2006 and up to December 31, 2009 a donor can transfer up to $100,000 per year to a qualified charity with no tax implications.
To qualify the donor must be at least 70 1/2 years old, and the gift must be directly transferred to the charity.
For more information, please contact your retirement account manager and The Club's Development Office.
