Give a Gift from your IRA

The IRA charitable rollover is a simple, tax-effective way to support CVI. If you are 70½ or older, you can give up to $100,000* each year directly from your IRA to charities such as CVI. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you still benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. Your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution for the year. The transfer may be made in addition to any other charitable giving you have planned. To initiate a gift, instruct your IRA administrator to transfer funds directly to CVI.

Benefits of Giving Through Your IRA:

Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD).
You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.

The mission of the Center for the Visually Impaired is to empower people impacted by vision loss to live with independence and dignity.

This single goal guides the programs and services of the Center for the Visually Impaired (CVI), and we work in a variety of ways to achieve it.

From our roots working with children in the 1960s, CVI has emerged as a leader in vision rehabilitation and training services for people of all ages and degrees of vision loss. Annually CVI helps more than 1,000 children, adults and seniors acquire skills to succeed at school and work, be active members of their communities, and live safely and independently.

CVI also serves as a resource for thousands of people each year from 28 counties throughout metro Atlanta and beyond who are seeking answers and help for themselves or a loved one. Nearly 50% of our clients are from low-income households (earning less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines).

With the support of individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations, CVI can ensure that anyone who needs services can access them. Philanthropy supports our ability to offer a sliding fee scale and other financial assistance to people with vision loss in our community.

Please explore our website to learn more about all our programs and services. Thank you for your interest and let us know how we can help you.
