If you are 70½ years old or older, you can give any amount up to $105,000 from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to Emberlight: Conscious Center for Living & Dying without having to pay income taxes on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called an IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD for short. 

​

This law no longer has an expiration date, so you are free to make annual gifts to Emberlight this year and in the future. 

​

Why consider this gift? 

1. Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making. 

2. You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a 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. 

​

To make a gift using your IRA: 

Contact your IRA administrator 

​

Provide instructions in writing to transfer the amount you wish directly to Emberlight: Center for Conscious Living & Dying. Indicate that Emberlight is a qualified 501(c)3 Tax ID # 87-3657907
