IRA Rollovers

If you're age 70½ or older with a traditional IRA, you're eligible to make a gift to Clark-Skamania Flyfishers directly from your IRA. These distributions are generally tax-free, which is why many of our supporters have turned to this option to increase their impact. If you're also facing a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift lets you support our mission while lowering your tax burden.

Important to remember:

  • You must be 70½ or older at the time of the distribution from your IRA to qualify.

  • Depending on your birth year, once you reach age 72 or 73, your gift distribution can count toward your calendar-year required minimum distribution (RMD).

  • Your total non-taxable annual distributions to one or more qualified 501(c)(3) charities, including Clark-Skamania Flyfishers, are limited to $100,000 per calendar year.

  • Contact your IRA plan administrator and ask them to distribute the rollover amount directly to Clark-Skamania Flyfishers, noting whether you'd like to be acknowledged for the gift.

  • The check issued from your IRA must be made payable to Clark-Skamania Flyfishers.

  • Your plan administrator must transfer the distribution directly to Clark-Skamania Flyfishers by December 31 for it to qualify for that tax year.
