Give From Your IRA
A Tax-Saving Way to Help the Dimmick Memorial Library
​
Make a difference today and save on taxes. It is possible when you support the Dimmick Memorial Library through your IRA.
A Special Opportunity for Those 70½ Years Old and Older
​
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as the Dimmick Memorial Library without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $100,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
Why Consider This Gift?
-
Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
-
Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD).
-
You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
-
Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.

Below is suggested language to use when drafting your bequest.
Sample Language
For an unrestricted gift that allows the Dimmick Memorial Library to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
​
"I give to the Dimmick Memorial Library, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 54 Broadway, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229 or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."
​
To designate your provision for a particular purpose:
​
"I give to the Dimmick Memorial Library, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 54 Broadway, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property]. This gift should be used for (state purpose) if and so long as the Dimmick Memorial Library determines that the need exists. If the Dimmick Memorial Library shall determine at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists or for some reason it is not possible (or prudent) to administer my gift as originally intended, then the Dimmick Memorial Library may, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above."
