Benefits of making charitable contributions via IRA rollovers include:

It’s important to note that tax-free gifts from your IRA can not be withdrawn by the donor, but instead must be paid directly by the IRA custodian to one or more qualified charities.

If an IRA Charitable Rollover is an option for you, please name the Crown Point Community Foundation as a beneficiary.
