Tax-Free IRA Gifts
Got an IRA? Put it on the dance floor
A gift to DANCE 89.5 from your IRA is a smart, tax-savvy move that helps fuel the music and support your community
If you’re 70-1/2 or older, you can make a tax-free Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) straight from your IRA: no extra hoops, no tax hit.
You can give up to $100,000 a year this way (and if you’re filing jointly, that’s up to $200,000 total per couple), all while keeping it out of your taxable income. Smooth move, big impact.
Got an IRA sitting there doing the bare minimum? Let's fix that!
The IRA Charitable Rollover lets you send funds straight from your IRA to DANCE 89.5: no tax drama, no AGI glow-up, just clean, effortless giving.
Bonus: It can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) so, yes, it does pull its weight.
You can enjoy these special tax savings so long as:
- It comes straight from either your Traditional or Roth IRA
- The distribution goes straight to a qualified non-profit
- Is sent straight from your plan administrator — no detours
And the best part? It never shows up as income, but absolutely shows up as impact.
IRA Charitable Rollover Instructions
Transfer should be made to the c89.5/KNHC Public Radio Association, Tax ID: 20-5402402
Step 1 • Initiate the gift
- Tell your IRA custodian you want to make a qualified charitable distribution be made directly to c89.5 / KNHC Public Radio Association (Federal Tax ID: 20-5402402).
