Give from Your IRA

If you’re 70½ or older, you can make tax-free charitable gifts directly from your traditional IRA.

The IRA charitable rollover (also called a Qualified Charitable Distribution) allows you to transfer up to $108,000 annually from your IRA directly to IPPF without paying income taxes on the distribution. This gift counts toward your required minimum distribution and may help reduce your overall tax burden.

Benefits of IRA charitable giving:

  • Tax-free transfer – No income tax on the distribution
  • Satisfies RMD requirements – Counts toward required minimum distributions
  • Simple process – Your IRA custodian transfers funds directly to IPPF
  • Immediate impact – Support patients and caregivers right now

To make an IRA charitable rollover: Contact your IRA custodian (bank, brokerage, or financial institution) and request a direct transfer to:

International Pemphigus & Pemphigoid Foundation
Tax ID: 94-3207871
915 Highland Pointe Drive, Ste. 250
Roseville, CA 95678

Please consult with your financial advisor or tax professional to determine if an IRA charitable rollover is appropriate for your situation.

Donate Stock

Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes – it’s a win-win for you and us! And now it’s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to International Pemphigus & Pemphigoid Foundation.

We have partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. By clicking on the DonateStock button above, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you.
