If you are at least 70 ½ years old, you may be eligible to make a tax-wise gift directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver. This type of gift, known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) or IRA Charitable Rollover, allows you to support the Y’s mission while potentially lowering your taxable income.

Benefits of an IRA Gift:

• Reduce your taxable income – Your gift counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) but isn’t recognized as taxable income.
• Satisfy your RMD – If you must take a distribution, this is a meaningful way to fulfill that requirement.
• Enjoy simplicity – Ask your IRA administrator to send a direct transfer to the Y—no need to write a check or adjust your will.

How to Make an IRA Gift

• Provide the following information to your IRA administrator:

Organization Name: YMCA of Metropolitan Denver

Mailing Address: 2625 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80222

Tax ID: 84-0402696

Please note: The YMCA of Metropolitan Denver cannot provide legal or tax advice. We encourage you to consult your professional advisor to learn how a charitable gift may fit into your personal financial plans.
