IRA Charitable Rollover

If you have a traditional IRA, at the age of 72, you will have to begin withdrawing a minimum required distribution each year, which is taxable income.

Planned Gifts

In addition to a bequest in your will, there are also other types of planned gifts you can set up that will benefit St. Paul's Without Walls after you pass away.

For example, you could name St. Paul's WIthout Walls as the beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. You could set up a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust, which provides you an income during your lifetime and then is gifted to St. Paul's after you pass away.
