YOU CAN MAKE A LASTING IMPACT!
Did you know that, if you are age 70 1/2 or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 directly to the Challenge Foundation from your IRA account with no tax consequences?
Normally these distributions are subject to income taxes. However, the IRA Charitable Rollover provision, established under the Pension Protection Act and recently made permanent by Congress, allows individuals who have reached age 70 1/2 to donate up to $100,000 to charitable organizations directly from their IRA. To qualify, contributions must go directly to a public charity and be made from traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs.
We are a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit so all donations are tax deductible.
