IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution
Maximize your charitable giving and minimize your taxable income by giving to Dartmouth directly from your IRA.
Benefits
Directing a portion of your required minimum distribution to a nonprofit organization such as Dartmouth reduces your taxable income—and you can direct your gift to a Dartmouth program that’s particularly meaningful to you.
Plan at a Glance
How It Works
When you reach the age of 70.5, the IRS allows you to donate up to $105,000 per year, tax-free, directly from your IRA to charitable organizations of your choice. If your spouse is also 70.5 years old or older and has a separate IRA, both of you may contribute up to $105,000. The cap on the qualified charitable distribution is limited to the amount of the distribution that would otherwise be included in income.
