Is a Charitable IRA Rollover right for you? This option might be a good fit if:
You’re 70 ½ or older and receiving IRA required minimum distributions, but you don’t need the extra income.
You want to make a significant gift during your lifetime, rather than leaving these assets as a bequest in your will.

Through the IRA Rollover provision, you can transfer assets from your IRA to several different kinds of charitable funds at the Community Foundation.* Your options include:
A designated fund, which allows you to specify in advance which charities will benefit from grants made from your fund.
A field of interest fund, which allows you to choose a general charitable cause (such as education, health, conservation, etc.) that grants from your fund will support.
A Giving Tree fund, which allows you to support a specific community in Arkansas. Grants from Giving Tree funds are selected by a committee of local leaders, who accept grant proposals from nonprofits serving that community.
*Contributions to donor advised funds currently do not qualify for the Charitable IRA rollover under the PATH Act.
