Turn Your IRA Into Impact This Year (2024)

If you are 70 or older by Dec. 31, 2024, you can transfer up to $105,000 directly from your traditional or Roth IRA to Giving Kitchen without incurring federal income tax this year. Additionally, you may make a one-time election of up to $53,000 from an individual IRA to fund a charitable gift annuity, an option available once in your lifetime.

If you are 73 or older by Dec. 31, 2024, required minimum distributions (RMDs) must be taken by year’s end to avoid penalties. This presents a unique opportunity to support Giving Kitchen’s mission while benefiting from tax savings.

RMD and charitable gift annuity rules vary by individual. Our team is here to help you explore how to maximize your impact and align your philanthropic goals with tax-smart giving strategies. Questions? Contact Michele Kresge at michele.kresge@thegivingkitchen.org.
