Many Grace Christian University supporters choose to maximize their generosity and reduce their tax burden by giving from their individual retirement accounts, either now or later.
- Give now.
If you are age 70½ or older, you have a unique and highly tax-efficient giving opportunity. You can contribute up to just over $100,000 (indexed annually for inflation) directly from your IRA through a qualified charitable distribution. This can count toward your required minimum distribution and lower your taxable income, all while supporting the mission of Grace to graduate courageous ambassadors for Christ. - Give later.
Leave a legacy of eternal impact. IRAs left to loved ones are considered taxable income. But when you name Grace Christian University as a beneficiary, your gift goes entirely to the university, tax-free, equipping future students to learn, grow, and serve for generations to come.
Whether you give now, later, or both, giving through your IRA is a wise way to steward your resources and invest in the ministry work happening at Grace.
