Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plan, is an excellent way to make a gift to Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley.
If you are like most people, you probably will not use all of your retirement assets during your lifetime. You can make a gift of your unused retirement assets to help further our mission.
To leave your retirement assets to Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. If you designate Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your retirement assets will not be taxed at your death. Your estate will benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.
Did you know that 40%-60% of your retirement assets may be taxed if you leave them to your heirs at your death? Another option is to leave your heirs assets that receive a step up in basis, such as real estate and stock, and give the retirement assets to Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley. As a charity, we are not taxed upon receiving an IRA or other retirement plan assets. You can use the "Make a Future Gift of Retirement Assets" tool to contact your retirement plan custodian and designate a future gift to Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley.
If you have any questions about gifts of retirement assets, please contact us. We would be happy to assist you and answer any questions that you have.
