You can support the KU Foundation through the SECA campaign. The State Employee Appeal (SECA) Fund Drive was established in 1977 as the only charitable campaign allowed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in its state offices. The KU Foundation is now listed as one of the participating non-profit agencies. The SECA campaign will launch this fall.
Qualified Charitable Distribution from an IRA
If you are 70 ½ years of age or older, you are eligible to gift some or all of your required minimum distribution up to $100,000 to charity. This allows donors to minimize their adjusted gross income. Please consult with your tax advisor regarding your specific giving plans.
To make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to the Kutztown University Foundation from your IRA, please contact your IRA administrator.
Keep in mind:
- Donor must be at least 70 ½ years of age when the gift is made;
- Transfer must be made directly from the IRA administrator to Kutztown University;
- Gifts from the IRA cannot exceed $100,000 per person ($200,000 for a couple) in a given year;
- Gifts can only be outright gifts (may not fund a charitable gift annuity or charitable trust);
- No goods and services can be given in exchange; and
- Gifts cannot be made to a donor advised fund, a supporting organization, or a private foundation.
- Checks sent by your plan administrator directly to the University must be postmarked by December 31.
