DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ESTABLISH AN ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP AT TEACHERS COLLEGE WITH FUNDS FROM YOUR IRA?
The Pension Protection Act, approved by Congress, provides for tax-free gifts to charities made directly from one’s Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
To take advantage of this opportunity, the following must occur:
• You must be 70½ or older.
• You transfer funds directly from an IRA or Rollover IRA with the help of your plan administrator. 401(k)s and 403(b)s are not eligible giving vehicles.
• The gifts are not more than $100,000 in total.
• You make the gift to Teachers College to establish an endowed scholarship in your name or in honor of a loved one or esteemed professor.
Please note that these gifts cannot be used to establish a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust, and these gifts are not eligible for a charitable deduction.
