Lifetime Gift from an IRA
Pension Protection Act of 2006 - Charitable Rollover
(Gift Example)

You are at least age 70½, have sufficient income so you don't need your minimum required distribution (MRD) from your retirement plan, and taking the distribution will increase your income taxes.

  • You send a letter to your plan administrator requesting a direct transfer to Yale of your MRD amount. Click here for sample letter. You avoid all federal income taxes and support Yale in an area you designate.
