Let us know you have designated a gift through your donor-advised fund by emailing us gifts@ucanr.edu.

Make a tax-free donation from your IRA
While a distribution from your IRA is normally treated as taxable income, the IRS allows retirees age 70½ years and older to donate up to $100,000 tax-free from their IRA each year to a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, such as UC ANR and the California 4-H Foundation. To benefit, you must direct your distribution directly to charity. To be eligible:

• The IRA account owner must be 70½ years or older at the time of distribution. The rule applies only to Traditional, Rollover, and Roth IRAs. SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs are generally excluded.
• Distribution must be made to a qualifying charity:
  EIN # 94-6036494
  California 4-H Foundation nonprofit tax ID# 23-7327765
• IRA Trustee or custodian must make the distribution directly to the charity. Distributions made payable to the IRA owner and transferred to the charity will not qualify.
• Let us know you have made this distribution so we can ensure receipt and acknowledgment by emailing us gifts@ucanr.edu.
