Charitable Gifts Through Your IRA
If you are age 70½ or older, giving directly from your IRA is a simple way to support the Morgridge Institute for Research. You can do this with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA.
The funds are transferred directly from your IRA to the Morgridge Institute for Research Foundation and a QCD does not generate taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
