Giving through your IRA is one of the easiest and most tax-smart ways to support AbilityFirst, helping children and adults with developmental disabilities reach their full potential, today and for generations to come. If you are 70½ years of age and older, federal law allows you to make a direct gift from your IRA to AbilityFirst. This IRA rollover lets you give up to $111,000 this year without increasing your taxable income and your gift may also count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD).

Whether you’re giving now or planning for the future, your IRA can be a powerful way to support AbilityFirst helping ensure opportunity and independence for years to come. Thank you for believing in AbilityFirst and the people we serve!
