Matching Gift Opportunities
Qualified Charitable Distribution / IRA Charitable Rollover
You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to Catholic Education Arizona. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact and ensure our work of making Catholic education affordable and accessible. Here’s how it works:
- You must be 70 ½ or older.
- An individual may transfer up to a total of $105,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $210,000 to all organizations.
- Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to Catholic Education Arizona.
- Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to Catholic Education Arizona so it does not count as income for the year.
- If you are 73 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.
You can download a sample letter for your IRA administrator here to start the distribution process. You may also be able to request a qualified charitable distribution through your online account portal.
Please note: If you are still working and contributing to a retirement account, this gift could impact your taxable income. Please consult a qualified advisor before making a gift.
