QCD to gift annuity

You may be looking for a way to help further our mission and enhance your income. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time QCD to fund a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed payments for life.

Benefits of a QCD to gift annuity

  • Reduce your taxes with a one-time transfer of up to $55,000 from your IRA to a Gift Annuity
  • Receive lifetime fixed payments for you and, if you choose, for your spouse
  • Potentially reduce your required minimum distribution (RMD) this year
  • Help further the work and mission of ASU Foundation

How a QCD to gift annuity works

  1. Contact us about creating an IRA rollover to gift annuity with ASU Foundation.
  2. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a one-time qualified charitable distribution (QCD) of up to $55,000 from your IRA to ASU Foundation.
  3. We will use your IRA gift to fund your gift annuity payments.
  4. Please note that IRA gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction.
  5. After you receive payments for life, there will be a future gift to us.
  6. Please contact us if you wish your future gift to be used for a specific purpose.
