Lifetime Gift from an IRA
Charitable Rollover Extension

How it works

You request that your IRA plan administrator make a distribution of up to $100,000 directly to Yale.

You direct how Yale uses your contribution.

Just contact us and we’ll be happy to give you more information about this new charitable incentive.

Benefits

  • You can use an overlooked, "frozen" asset to make a gift to Yale.
  • You never recognize the distribution as income.
  • The distribution counts towards your minimum required distribution for the year.

Remember...

  • You must be at least age 70½ at the time of distribution.
  • You can only transfer $100,000 per year, and only in 2008 and 2009.
  • Funds must come from an IRA.
  • Distributions cannot go to donor advised funds.
  • State income tax may be due on the distribution.
