Current legislation gives donors aged 70½ and older an opportunity to direct lifetime distributions from their IRAs and ROTH IRAs to The Nature Conservancy without incurring income tax liability on the withdrawal. The provision is in effect until December 31, 2009. Distributions to The Nature Conservancy and other charitable beneficiaries can total $100,000 and must be made outright - they cannot fund a life-income gift. Learn more about this opportunity and how you can make a gift to conservation through your IRA. Alternatively, contact us and we'll be happy to give you more information about this charitable incentive.

Donors younger than 70½ can make a withdrawal from their IRA or other type of retirement plan, pay income tax on the withdrawal, and donate the proceeds to The Nature Conservancy. These gifts can be made outright or can fund a life-income gift and will generate a charitable deduction for the donor.
