Did you know?
You can support the Erie Philharmonic through your IRA and enjoy tax benefits immediately.
A valuable opportunity for donors aged 70½ and older.
IRA Charitable Rollover: A Win-Win
Eligibility: Anyone 70½ years or older can transfer up to $100,000 yearly from their IRA directly to a qualified charity like the Philharmonic.
Tax Benefits: Avoid income taxes on your donation. Donations up to $100,000 are eligible for these tax advantages.
Immediate Impact: Your donation is put to use today, letting you witness the difference it makes at the Philharmonic.
Why Choose an IRA Charitable Rollover?
Fulfill Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): Starting at age 73, your gift can satisfy part or all of your RMD.
No Income Taxes on Gifts: The transfer does not count as taxable income nor as a tax deduction, beneficial for both itemizers and non-itemizers.
Potential Income Level Reduction: A lower annual income level can mean reduced Medicare premiums and less taxable Social Security income.
Your support through an IRA rollover is more than a gift—it's an investment in the Philharmonic’s mission and future.
Questions? Contact Elizabeth Valkanas at 814.455.1375, ext. 114 or elizabeth@eriephil.org for additional information or seek the advice of your financial or legal advisor.
