GIFTS FROM AN IRA
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA account. The law allows you to transfer any amount up to $100,000 (annually) directly to a qualified charitable organization without paying income tax on the distribution. The transfer does not generate taxable income or a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.
A charitable distribution also counts as part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), and must be made directly through your financial advisor to the charity.

GIFTS OF STOCK
Gifts of appreciated assets such as stock or securities are an excellent way for you to make a charitable gift. Stocks may be transferred directly to the Orange Catholic Foundation for the benefit of a parish, school or your favorite Catholic ministry. These gifts provide the following tax benefits:
- A possible charitable deduction to help you save on taxes
- Bypass federal and state capital gains taxes
- Avoidance of the tax on net investment income
From a tax perspective, a gift of appreciated assets makes good sense. You can alleviate the capital gains taxes, achieve significant tax savings and support our programs.
To make a gift of stock, please contact us at [email protected], or download the Stock Gift Form.
