Make an Immediate Gift Through Your IRA

You can now make a gift from your IRA directly to IPPF/WHR. This gift opportunity is now available permanently!

If you are 70½ or older, you may give up to $100,000 using funds from your IRA to IPPF/WHR. While you are not entitled to an income tax charitable deduction for the gift, it will count towards your minimum required distribution* for the year and you will not have to pay federal income tax on the withdrawn amount.

* Congress has waived the annual Required Minimum Distribution from IRA Accounts in the year 2020 as part of the CARES Act in response to COVID-19. Please consider seeking advice from your financial advisor or tax professional to understand how recent changes to laws governing retirement plans may impact you and your charitable gift.

PLEASE CONTACT: Eric Bebernitz at 212.248.6400 or giftplan@ippfwhr.org to let us know about your gift so that we can ensure you receive the appropriate receipt as well as our sincere gratitude.

Gifts By Beneficiary Designation

Naming IPPF/WHR as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, life insurance policy, brokerage or bank account is a generous way to support our shared vision for future generations.

Qualified retirement plans and life insurance policies are non-probate assets. This means you can make a gift through a beneficiary designation, even if you don’t have a will. Any remaining amount, or the insurance proceeds, will be distributed to the people and/or organizations you’ve named as beneficiaries.

You can request a Change of Beneficiary Form from your plan administrator and add IPPF/WHR as a full or partial beneficiary with the following information:

Since we are a tax-exempt organization, 100% of your gift passes to IPPF/WHR. Beneficiary designations can be changed at any time and for any reason. We deeply respect your right to do so.

Many states allow you to name an organization as a beneficiary of almost any financial account: brokerage, savings, checking, credit union savings, etc. As with your retirement plan, you can contact your account administrator for a Change of Beneficiary Form.
