CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM IRA ACCOUNTS

IRAs MAY NOT make a charitable distribution to a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). Please do not have your IRA custodian send a distribution to your DAF as that may be treated as a taxable distribution to you. In lieu of sending an IRA charitable distribution to your DAF, please consider making a gift to support our GIFT VIII match. Through Lilly Endowment’s GIFT VIII initiative, every new contribution to our unrestricted endowment made before December 31, 2025, will be matched 2-to-1. That means a gift of $1,000 becomes $3,000 working right here in Hamilton County.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, please reach out to Josie Frey at josief@hamiltoncountycf.org or Amanda Massey at amandam@hamiltoncountycf.org
