See the Impact of Your Generosity Today I Make a Tax-Free Gift From Your IRA f you are 70 ½ years or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to help our students and receive tax benefits in return. You can give any amount up to $100,000 per year from your IRA directly to Gwynedd Mercy University without having to pay income taxes on the money. Why Consider This Gift? ▶ ▶ Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making. ▶ ▶ You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. ▶ ▶ If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
