Looking for  creative way to make a donation to St. Patrick of Heatherdowns? Have you ever considered a charitable gift from an IRA? Once again, they are TAX FREE! Under the Tax Releif, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, this way of giving was renewed by Congress. The act also allows charitable distributions made from an IRA in January 2011 to be declared as 2010 gifts, should the IRS wish to do so.

 If you are considering this option, please check with your financial advisor or professional tax preparer to make sure you are able to participate in this program.

• IRA investors who are at least 70 1/2 years old can make direct charitable transfers up to $100,000.
• Gifts may be designated to support programs for areas of your choice, such as the Funds for the Future account or the SPH Endowment for Tuition Assistance.
• The gift (money directly transferred to the charity, like SPH) is not included in the IRA owner's income and is not taxed. In Ohio, you also avoid paying state income tax!
• The receiving charity can not be a section 509 (a) (3) supporting organization
