                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Your gift, which must be transferred directly from your IRA to HBS, can be excluded from your federal taxable income. Once you turn 72 years old, your gift also counts toward the IRS’s required minimum distribution.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          To initiate a transfer, contact your IRA administrator. To ensure proper crediting at HBS, you will also need to notify Harvard University. Downloadable sample letters are provided below for your convenience.

Gifts can also be made for the benefit of HBS.

Since the marginal tax rate is approximately 50%, this means that basically half of the contribution is “paid” by the tax authorities.

Alumni couples must indicate—on the online giving form or gift reply slip—if they would like their gift to be credited jointly. In that case, the amount will be split 50/50 for tax purposes but each person will receive class credit and recognition for the full amount of the gift. Contact HBS Gift Management at 617.495.6207 or gifts@hbs.edu if you have additional questions about crediting.

If your pledge is legally binding, the gift intention agreement will include the following language (or similar): “It is my intention that the Agreement shall create obligations that are binding and enforceable against me, my heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, assigns, and estates.”
