Consider a Gift from Your IRAs

If you are age 70½ or older, you can donate up to $100,000 directly to the Vermont Folklife Center from your individual retirement accounts (IRAs) without it being counted as taxable income.

The gift must come from your required minimum distribution. Your financial institution needs to issue the check directly to us, and the gift must be made by December 31 of the tax year. Contact your provider or visit their website to obtain a simple form to fill out.

Please email or call John Barstow with any questions: 802-388-2145 (cell).
