Give from your IRA

Make a tax-free gift with your IRA  

If you are 70½ years old or older, you can give up to $108,000 from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to a qualified organization such as MSI United States without incurring any taxes.  

This law no longer has an expiration date so you are free to make annual gifts to our organization this year and well into the future. 

This gift option is called an IRA charitable rollover or qualified charitable distribution (QCD). It’s a popular way to support your favorite causes without having to pay income taxes on the money.  

Why give through your IRA? 

Your gift will be put to work immediately, allowing you to make a direct difference in the lives of women and girls in your lifetime.  

You pay no income taxes on the gift. A transfer from your IRA generates no taxable income or tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.  

If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement. MSI must receive your gift by Dec. 31 for your IRA charitable distribution to qualify for that tax year.

Leave a legacy with IRA beneficiary designation 

You can change lives for years to come by naming MSI United States as a beneficiary of your IRA. 

A retirement plan or IRA typically generates taxable income when paid to a beneficiary. But, agift to MSI after your lifetime allows you to leave those same assets to a cause you care about without any taxes while leaving nontaxable assets (such as stocks and real estate) to your loved ones.  

To complete your gift, contact your retirement plan or IRA administrator and complete a beneficiary designation form naming MSI United States as beneficiary and the percentage you’d like us to receive (1-100%). Some IRA providers may also have an online form you can fill out. Be sure to keep a copy of the beneficiary designation form for your records. Your beneficiary can be changed at any time, on your schedule.  

You can notify MSI US of your legacy plans by filling out a simple online form. You can also contact us at legacy@msichoices.org with questions or to discuss your plans.
