The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) permits individuals to roll over up to $100,000 from an individual retirement account (IRA) directly to a qualifying charity without recognizing the assets transfered as income.

If you are 70 ½ or older, you can use your IRA to make a gift to WELC tax-free. Gifts must be made before December 31, 2007.

Charitable distributions must come directly to WELC from your IRA administrator.

If you are interested in this giving opportunity please contact us for more information at the telephone or email below. We also encourage you to discuss this opportunity with the administrator of your IRA.
