A Special Opportunity for Those at least 70 ½ Years Old

You can give any amount 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 of $100,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good about knowing that you are making a difference for the Diocese of Rochester.

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
