Considering an IRA Distribution to SCCF?

For SCCF Members who are at least 72 years young, individual retirement account (IRA) distributions can be transferred to SCCF to satisfy your required minimum distribution without increasing your annual gross income. In fact, you can transfer up to $100,000 without creating a taxable event. A distribution can be made by check payable to SCCF, PO Box 839, Sanibel, FL 33957-0839. Your consideration of this suggestion is most appreciated.

SCCF is a nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) is 59-1205087. We can accept donations in the form of cash, securities, and planned gifts.
