IRA Charitable Rollover

You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to American Humane. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact and nurture the bond between animals and humans. Here’s how it works:

• You must be 70 ½ or older.
• An individual may transfer up to a total of $100,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $200,000, if they both have IRAs.
• Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to American Humane.
• Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to American Humane, so it does not create taxable income for you and is not considered a charitable tax deduction.
• If you are 72 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution* from your IRA.

* Congress has waived the annual Required Minimum Distribution from IRA Accounts in the year 2020 as part of the CARES Act in response to COVID-19. Please consider seeking advice from your financial advisor or tax professional to understand how recent changes to laws governing retirement plans may impact you and your charitable gift.
