When you give a memorial or tribute gift for UMKC to honor someone special, you’re expressing your love, admiration, and gratitude in one of the most meaningful ways there is. Your gift will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute, and touch the lives of our students for years to come.

Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf students, faculty, alumni, and community leaders? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. Donate a pool of funds to UMKC, 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.

• You must be 70½ 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 UMKC.
• Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to UMKC 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.
