Donor Advised Funds, Family Foundations & IRA's

The AMFS welcomes gifts from Donor-Advised Funds, Family Foundations, Individual Retirement Accounts, and other charitable giving vehicles. Please note, however, that according to IRS regulations, gifts from these funds cannot result in personal or material benefits, including tickets or passes.

IRA Charitable Rollover

The IRA charitable rollover allows donors aged 70.5 and older to make tax-free charitable gifts directly from their Individual Retirement Accounts to eligible charities. This allows the donor to meet their distribution minimum without any tax exposure. According to IRS regulations, gifts from these funds cannot result in any personal or material benefit, including tickets or passes.
