Matching Gift Opportunities

Donate a pool of funds to Albany Medical Center Foundation, from which we will match any donation made within a given period of time. In this way, you can double the impact of your giving.
Qualified Charitable Distribution
You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to Albany Medical Center Foundation. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact and ensure our work of caring for our patients, teaching our scholars and exploring new treatments and cures. Here’s how it works:
- You must be 70 ½ or older.
- An individual may transfer up to a total of $105,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $210,000 to all organizations.
- Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to Albany Medical Center Foundation.
- Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to Albany Medical Center Foundation so it does not count as income for the year.
- If you are 73 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.
You can download a sample letter for your IRA administrator here to start the distribution process. You may also be able to request a qualified charitable distribution through your online account portal.
Please note: If you are still working and contributing to a retirement account, this gift could impact your taxable income. Please consult a qualified advisor before making a gift.
