Forbes Highlights Creative Giving: IRA RMDs For Israel
So pleased that Forbes highlighted the new giving opportunities. IRAs are not just for end-of-year or end-of-life, anymore. With the permanent charitable rollover in effect, the IRA becomes an even more versatile philanthropic building block. Check out Ashlea Ebeling's timely story in Forbes on Creative Giving: IRA RMDs for Israel.
