  • If you’re 72 or older, transferring funds from your IRA may provide a way to make a generous gift to YWCA Boulder County while reducing your overall tax burden. You may transfer up to $100,000per year directly from a traditional or Roth IRA, avoid reporting the distribution as income, and have an immediate impact on our work to empower women and eliminate racism.

The amount of the transfer will not be included in your taxable income, and the transferred amount counts toward the IRA’s required minimum distribution.
