Charitable IRA Rollover
If you are 70 ½ years or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit the Washington Bach Consort and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money.
This law no longer has an expiration date so you are free to make annual gifts to the Bach Consort this year as well as each year in the future.
