If you are age 70½ or older, you can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to the UW-Eau Claire Foundation without having to pay income taxes. The law permitting this IRA rollover no longer has an expiration date, so you are free to use this giving option annually well into the future.

How it works

• The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you still benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.
• If you have not taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
• The transfer may be made in addition to any other charitable giving you have planned.

If you are interested in giving to the UW-Eau Claire Foundation through an IRA rollover, or if you have any questions, please contact our office at 715-836-5630 or foundation@uwec.edu.

The Telefund program is an essential part of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation's annual fundraising program. Current students dedicate evening hours to contacting alumni and friends to build relationships and raise funds to support UW-Eau Claire. These gifts help us to provide scholarships, research opportunities, fellowships, study abroad programs and other valuable educational opportunities for students.

Telefund callers request updated contact information, provide updates on the great things happening on campus and answer any questions alumni and friends may have. Calls are placed on Sunday-Thursday evenings year-round.

Please take their call and pledge to renew your annual support or consider making your first gift to UW-Eau Claire. Your connection with current students is inspiring and your gifts enrich the value of a degree from UW-Eau Claire — now and for the next generation of Blugolds.

UW-Eau Claire employees benefit from another great perk. Just complete the short form to give back to a place that gives you so much.
