In October 2008, Congress extended the IRA Charitable Act and provided an advantageous way to make tax-free gifts from your IRA. If you are 70 1/2 years old or older, you may make tax-free transfers from your IRA to support charities. In fact, you can donate up to $100,000 during each tax year (2008-2009), so we encourage you to consider making a gift by transferring funds from your IRA to the Saint Louis Science Center.
You may request a sample roll-over instruction letter and ask questions about this opportunity by contacting Harold Melser, Associate Vice President of Development at 314.289.4468 or hmelser@slsc.org.
