Thank you for considering an IRA charitable rollover gift to us. The website link will take you to your IRA custodian's website, where you may be able to log in and make a gift to California State University San Marcos Foundation. Another option is to use the phone number to call your IRA custodian. They will assist you in making an IRA charitable rollover gift. If you would like to notify us of your generous IRA charitable rollover, please complete the Notify us of your IRA charitable rollover section. Please note this is a time sensitive transaction.

If the transaction is not completed prior to December 31, you may be subject to penalties if you have not satisfied your required minimum distribution. |

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs
You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help further our mission. If you are 70½ or older, you may also be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.
Flowchart: Donor directs IRA custodian to make an IRA distribution directly to CSUSM.
Benefits of a QCD
- Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA to our organization
- May satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year
- Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions
- Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts
- Help further the work and mission of our organization
How a QCD Works
- Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to the CSUSM Foundation (federal tax ID 80-0390564). Gifts should be mailed to:
Attn: Elizabeth Canavan
University Advancement
CSUSM
333 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road
San Marcos, CA 92096 - Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to our organization to help continue our important work.
- We will send you an acknowledgment letter for your gift, which may satisfy your RMD, if applicable. Please note that QCDs do not qualify for a charitable deduction.
- Please contact us if you wish for your gift to be used for a specific purpose.
