Make a Gift Tax-Free with an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as the OLLI at UK without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $100,000 or less are eligible for this benefit. This gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
