Other Ways to Give

Donate From Your IRA

Tax-free IRA gifts help ACR put Conservation Into Action. IRA owners now have the option of satisfying their required minimum distribution with an easy-to-arrange IRA gift to qualified nonprofit organizations, like Audubon Canyon Ranch.

Here’s what you need to know about IRA charitable rollover gifts:

You must be 70½ or older when you make your gift.
You can transfer up to $100,000 annually without triggering income tax.
You can use your gift to satisfy some or all of your required minimum distribution.
Your IRA custodian must make the distribution directly to the charity.
Your IRA gift will pass to ACR tax-free, so 100% can be used to support the programs and preserves of Audubon Canyon Ranch.

Please use this sample letter to send to your IRA custodian: IRA request for distribution form
