Make a tax-free donation from your IRA

To be eligible: IRA Trustee or custodian must make the distribution directly to the charity. Distributions made payable to the IRA owner and transferred to the charity will not qualify. Distribution must be made to a qualifying charity. The NYS 4-H Foundation, Inc. is a qualifying nonprofit charity, federal tax ID 14-6021395
