Reap the Most Tax Benefit While Supporting St. Thomas More Newman Center

Maximize your giving dollars before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve by using funds in your retirement account to support the St. Thomas More Newman Center. The IRA Charitable Rollover allows donors who are 70.5 years or older to transfer up to $100,000 from a traditional or Roth IRA to a qualified charity like The Catholic Foundation. In doing so, donors keep their IRA distribution from impacting their gross income and possibly avoid being bumped into a higher tax bracket. The IRA charitable rollover can also count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD), which starts at age 72.
​
All transfers must be made directly from an IRA custodian to The Catholic Foundation by December 15th to qualify as a 2022 rollover and be excluded from the donor’s taxable income. If you would like to support the St. Thomas More Newman Center through an IRA, please contact Christy Steffy at 614-443-8893 or csteffy@catholic-foundation.org.
