Rollover! Good IRA

Direct gifts to Swarthmore College from your IRA can:

1. Be an easy way to make a gift from one of your major assets.
2. Be excluded from your gross income: a tax-free rollover.
3. Count toward your required minimum distribution, which begins at 73.

For your gift to qualify:

• You must be 70½ or older at the time of your gift.
• The transfer must go directly from your IRA to us.
• Your total rollovers for an outright gift in any year cannot exceed $100,000 but can be done year after year.
• Your total rollovers for a life-income gift cannot exceed $50,000 and can only be done in one tax year.
