Once again you can give to Manchester College directly from your IRA without incurring income tax on the distribution.  Thousands of Manchester College alumni and friends qualify!

Here's how:

• You must be age 70½ or older.

• Your gift distribution must be made directly from the IRA to the College.

• You do not pay tax on the transfer from the IRA, so you will not receive a tax deduction for your gift.

• Your gift counts toward the required minimum distribution from your IRA.

• You may give up to $100,000 by this method in 2008 and 2009.

• All gifts must be received by December 31st to qualify for that year.

The Office of College Advancement can guide you through the process.
