Giving Israel Policy Forum appreciated securities that you’ve held for more than a year, is an excellent way to make a gift to Israel Policy Forum.  In most cases, you will be entitled to an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities on the date of the gift and will not have to report capital gain income.  

Please confirm with Snezhana Orlando (svaldman@ipforum.org) and Lissie Diringer (ldiringer@ipforum.org) the expected date of the transfer, number of shares, and the security (and symbol) being transferred.

The Charitable IRA Rollover allows you to make annual gifts to Israel Policy Forum from your IRA. The recently reinstated law allows individuals age 70 ½ and older to make direct transfers of up to $100,000 per year from IRAs directly to a qualified charitable organization such as Israel Policy Forum without being subject to income taxes on the distribution. Since no tax is incurred on the withdrawal, these gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction. These direct transfers may, however, be counted towards an individual’s minimum required distribution.
