Charitable Lead Trusts

If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can transfer any amount up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to Portland Rescue Mission or another qualified nonprofit organization. You don’t pay income taxes on the distribution, so you benefit even if you don’t itemize on your taxes.
