IRA Charitable Rollover
Looking for a way to make a big difference to help Madison prepare students to be educated and enlightened citizens? If you are 70½ or older, charitable gifts made to the James Madison University Foundation, Inc. directly from your IRA (up to $100,000 total in 2019) are not reportable as taxable income. They also qualify for your required minimum distribution (RMD) which can lower your income and taxes and support our students today.
