Rollover! An IRA to a Charitable Gift Annuity

Do you own an IRA? Would you like to support the mission of Nationwide Children’s Hospital and also receive fixed income payments for life? Have you been considering a charitable gift annuity but weren’t sure if the timing was right?

It’s an excellent time to consider a charitable gift annuity (CGA) with Nationwide Children’s and the recently enacted Secure Act 2.0 provides a once-in-a-lifetime easy way to do so with a tax-free distribution from your IRA. You may have a new “best friend” after taking advantage of this opportunity.

BENEFITS OF A CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY

• Guaranteed lifetime payments

• Attractive payment rates based on your age

PROVISIONS OF THE SECURE ACT 2.0

• A one-time rollover of $50,000 from your IRA to fund a CGA

• Rollover amount counts toward required minimum distribution

• Supports the mission of Nationwide Children’s

• Turns a taxable lump sum into a stream of smaller sums taxed over many years

If this “new trick” seems right for you, we welcome the opportunity to discuss this strategy, answer your questions, and send you an illustration of your payment rate and potential tax benefits.

MORE ON THE SECURE ACT 2.0

Part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, the Secure Act 2.0 also includes the following changes that enhance retirement benefits:

• Increased the age for required minimum distributions from 72 to 73

• Permits additional catch-up contributions for retirement plan participants aged 50 and over

MORE ON CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES

A CGA is a contract between you and Nationwide Children’s. In exchange for your gift, Nationwide Children’s agrees to pay a fixed stream of income for life to you or you and your spouse. Upon your passing, the remaining principal is used to support the hospital’s mission.
