Tax-Free Year-End Giving: From IRA

Partner with B'nai Tzedek with a Tax-Free Gift from your Individual Retirement Account

As the calendar year comes to a close, you may be eligible to make a tax-free gift from your IRA to B'nai Tzedek. Partner with us to create a strong Jewish identity and a vibrant local Jewish community.

Benefits of a Gift from an IRA (Qualified Charitable Distributions)

  • Donors age 72 or older, and under certain circumstances over age 70 -1/2  or older can transfer a total of up to $100,000 per year, directly from Individual Retirement Accounts to charities such as B'nai Tzedek, free from federal income tax. There may also be state income tax savings.
  • Qualified Charitable Distributions count toward required IRA minimum withdrawal amounts for the year of the gift.
  • In order to be tax-free, the donation must go directly from the account to B'nai Tzedek, without passing through your hands.
  • A Qualified Charitable Distribution to B'nai Tzedek is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your taxable income.

Please note: B'nai Tzedek is not engaged in providing legal or tax advice. Please consult your professional advisors before making your gift.
