IRA to Gift Annuity Rollover

You may be looking for a way to help further our mission and enhance your income. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time IRA rollover to fund a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed payments for life.

Benefits of an IRA to gift annuity rollover

  • Reduce your taxes with a one-time transfer of up to $54,000 from your IRA to a gift annuity
  • Receive lifetime fixed payments for you and, if you choose, for your spouse
  • Potentially reduce your required minimum distribution (RMD) this year
  • Help further the work and mission of OMSI
