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 $55,000 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 Elon University

How an IRA rollover to gift annuity works

  1. Contact us about creating an IRA rollover to gift annuity with Elon University.
  2. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a one-time qualified charitable distribution (QCD) of up to $55,000 from your IRA to Elon University.
  3. We will use your IRA gift to fund your gift annuity payments.
  4. Please note that IRA gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction.
  5. After you receive payments for life, there will be a future gift to us.
  6. Please contact us if you wish your future gift to be used for a specific purpose.
