Make a Life-Changing Gift Through Your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, an IRA charitable rollover is a powerful and tax-wise way to support Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. Your gift will help provide children with the reconstructive surgeries and medical care they need at no cost to their families while also offering you important financial benefits.

Benefits of an IRA Charitable Rollover

  • Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $108,000 from your IRA to Fresh Start Surgical Gifts
  • Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year
  • Lower your taxable income, even if you don’t itemize deductions
  • Make a gift that is not subject to charitable deduction limits
  • Help provide children with life-changing medical care

How an IRA Charitable Rollover Works

  • Contact your IRA plan administrator and request a direct transfer to:
    Fresh Start Surgical Gifts
    Tax ID: 33-0460177
    2011 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 206
    Carlsbad, CA 92011
  • Your IRA funds will be transferred directly to Fresh Start to support our mission.
  • You can make a lasting difference without paying income tax on the amount transferred.

*Please note: IRA charitable rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction, and IRS rules prevent donors from receiving any goods or services in return.

This is a personal financial decision, and we respect your privacy — we won’t reach out unless you ask us to. But if you’d like to connect, we’d truly love to hear from you.
