IRA Rollover

Individuals who are age 70½ or older to make gifts of up to $100,000 directly from their IRA account to one or more qualified charities, without paying federal income tax on the withdrawal. Donors who wish to make a gift to benefit KidWorks Community Development Corporation, or who are fulfilling an existing pledge, may want to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution.

Here are the specifics

  • Donors must be age 70½ or older at the time the gift is made
  • Only traditional IRAs are eligible
  • Donors must request a direct transfer of funds from their plan administrator to a qualified public charity; funds cannot be withdrawn prior to a gift or the tax benefit is nullified
  • Gifts cannot be made to a private foundation or to a donor advised fund
  • Gifts cannot be used to fund a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust
  • Each donor may give up to $100,000 per year. For couples, each spouse can give up to $100,000
  • Distributions made under this law can be used to satisfy the donor’s required minimum distribution (RMD). The rollover allows for a charitable gift to fulfill the RMD without adding to tax liability

To make a gift to KidWorks from an IRA, contact your IRA plan administrator and request a direct Qualified Charitable Distribution from the IRA account to KidWorks Community Development Corporation, a 501(c)(3) organization, with Tax ID number 74-3081569. Checks should be mailed directly to KidWorks Community Development Corporation, 1902 W Chestnut Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92703
