Gifts from your IRA

If you meet the minimum age for a Required Distribution, you may direct up to $100,000 tax-free per year from your retirement account to ARC.

To Make an Immediate Impact Through Your IRA, Here’s What You Need to Know:

Age Requirement
You must be 70 ½ years old or older at the time of the gift.
Gift Amount
There is no minimum gift requirement, though your IRA administrator may set a minimum transfer amount.
Required Minimum Distribution
A gift to ARC counts toward your required minimum distribution from your IRA.
Direct Transfer
Gifts must be transferred from your IRA to ARC by your IRA administrator to be considered a tax-exempt IRA distribution
Non-Qualifying Plans
Gifts from 401(k), 403(b), SEP, and other retirement plans do not qualify. To make a gift of assets in these types of accounts, you would need to roll the assets over into an IRA and then make a direct transfer from that IRA.

How to Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution Gift to ARC:

Contact Your IRA Administrator
Request a direct transfer to:

Amyloidosis Research Consortium
320 Nevada Street, Suite 210
Newton, MA 02460

ARC Federal Tax ID#: 47-2589708
Ensure Direct Distribution
To avoid taxable distribution, ensure that funds are transferred directly to ARC.
Include Your Name
Instruct your IRA administrator to include your name on the check sent to ARC to ensure we can track your gift.
Notify ARC
After contacting your IRA administrator, provide us with the name of your IRA company and the gift amount so we can promptly identify and acknowledge your gift.

You can ensure your gift will have an impact beyond your lifetime.

Tax Considerations
Retirement plans are subject to tax when passed on to heirs other than a spouse.
Maximize Your Gift
When you leave your IRA or other retirement assets to tax-exempt organizations like ARC, your entire gift will support ARC’s important work.
Easy Designation
Designating ARC as your account’s beneficiary is simple. Contact your plan administrator to request a Change of Beneficiary Form.
