A Special Opportunity for Those at least 70 ½ Years Old

You can give any amount (up to $105,000 per year) from your IRA directly to the CMA without having to pay taxes on the amount given as part of your annual income.  Gifts of any value less than $105,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference for the Diocese of Rochester and your parish.  This popular gift option is commonly called the charitable IRA rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).

Your disbursement must come directly from the administrator of your IRA to the Diocese – you should not receive the funds first.

The check should be made payable to:
Diocese of Rochester/CMA

Please request a notation with the gift to include:
Your Name and Your Parish

Please have the check mailed to:
CMA
Diocese of Rochester
1150 Buffalo Rd.
Rochester, NY  14624

The Diocese of Rochester/CMA is a qualified charity.  The EIN or Tax ID# is 16-0755765.

Please consult with your tax advisor or IRA administrator regarding tax or account-specific questions.

All monies raised in the CMA are only used for the programs, services and ministries for which they are designated.  No gifts to the CMA are used to satisfy settlement costs associated with abuse.
