Called a Qualified Charitable Distribution from an IRA, this simple gift process is a win-win. Gifts from your Individual Retirement Account can be given to an eligible charitable organization like Alzheimer’s LA, and often have significant benefits for you too. Up to $100,000 of the gift is excluded from your gross income for tax purposes. These gifts also qualify for your required minimum distribution.

How it works:
You make a distribution directly from an IRA to Alzheimer’s LA by December 31. The distribution counts toward your required minimum distribution.

Are you eligible?

• You are at least 70½ years of age
• The distribution must otherwise be included in gross income
• The distribution must otherwise be fully deductible as a charitable contribution.

Benefits
Up to $100,000 is removed from your gross income for income tax purposes.*
The distribution counts toward your required minimum distribution.
