Rollover Your IRA
By rolling over all or part of your IRA’s “required minimum distribution” (“RMD”) to Braille Institute, you can help reduce
your tax bill while helping us serve thousands of folks in need!
If you are 70 or older, you can make a gift of up to $100,000 from your IRA to help further our mission. Contact your IRA administrator to get started with your gift. While you will not receive an income tax deduction, you will not pay taxes on any distributions made to us, reducing your tax burden even if
you do not itemize!
As always, you may designate your contribution to the location or program of your choice!
Call our Philanthropy Department today to learn more: at 1-800-BRAILLE (272-4553), Ext. 1256
