Many Americans have opened donor-advised funds (DAFs) to maximize their philanthropic impact to the charities they love and take immediate and full advantage of the tax benefits available to them, while also distributing their gifts to the charities they desire on the timeline they desire. If you are one of those donors, know that Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91 welcomes distributions of all sizes from DAFs. While a convenient tool for giving, DAFs cannot be used to fulfill an enforceable pledge or purchase event tickets.

Please send gifts from your donor-advised fund to:

Often, individuals are surprised to see that the value of their retirement plans has grown substantially, and that the increased value can be used philanthropically. Now, donors can put their required minimum distribution to good use, while also avoiding payment of income tax on the withdrawal or the excise tax penalty for skipping.

For individuals, 70 ? or older, donors can make direct, outright gifts from their IRAs to Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91. Considered ¡°Charitable IRA Rollover¡± or ¡°Qualified Charitable Distribution¡± gifts, these transfers are easy for donors. Simply contact your IRA custodian to authorize your rollover gift, up to $105,000, to charity per year. For donors 73 and older, this gift may also qualify as one's required minimum distribution. Donors avoid paying income tax on the withdrawal from their IRA account, and therefore, are not eligible for a charitable gift deduction.

Distributions of up to $105,000 must be made directly from a traditional IRA account to Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91, i.e., the distribution cannot first be placed in a ¡°donor-advised fund¡± or supporting organization. Also, gifts from 401(k), 403(b), SEP and other plans do not qualify.
