IRA Charitable Rollover

IRA Gifts

Reduce your taxable income by making an IRA charitable rollover gift to the EWU Foundation.

IRA distribution gifts cannot be applied to contributions required for priority seating; however, they can be applied to all other support areas, such as sport enhancement funds, scholarship endowments, capital projects, etc

How it Works

How it Works

Charitable distributions from IRAs may be transferred directly from a traditional IRA to a public charity (such as EWU Foundation) with the following stipulations:

  • Donors must be 70 ½ or older to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to a public charity (EWU Foundation).
  • Donors must be 73 or older to direct their required minimum distribution (RMD) to charity (EWU Foundation). Note: The SECURE Act increased the age for RMD distribution to 73.
  • Charitable distributions are limited to $100,000 per taxpayer per year.
  • The distribution must be made payable to charity (EWU Foundation) by December 31 of the applicable tax year.
  • Charitable rollover gifts may fulfill a pledge to the EWU Foundation.
  • No goods, services, or benefits may be provided for charitable rollover gifts.
