IRA Charitable Rollover

A Charitable IRA Rollover gift is a simple way to make a big difference. If you are aged 70 ½  or older, you can make a tax-free Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA to Kent State.

In any given year, you can transfer up to $100,000 from your IRA to Kent State and other qualified charities. Additionally, this gift can satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for those aged 73 and older. Please note that IRA Charitable Rollover Gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction.

To make a gift from your IRA to Kent State, please contact your IRA administrator to complete the appropriate forms and contact us at giftplan@kent.edu or 330-672-1000 to let us know what specific area you would like your gift to support. Your IRA funds will transfer directly to us.
