Put Your IRA to Work for The W

An IRA charitable rollover allows donors aged 70-and-a-half and up to transfer up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to the MUW Foundation offering savings on taxes that otherwise would be paid on IRA distributions.

Donors have enjoyed this giving option to support The W with gifts designated to fund scholarships, academic programs, campus projects, extracurricular activities, The W Fund, and other areas that make The W the extraordinary place it is for learning. 

Your gift must be made before December 31, 2022, to qualify as a tax-free rollover for the 2022 calendar year. To learn more about a charitable IRA rollover, email us or call (662) 329-7148.
