Celebrate the Legacy, Fund the Next 50!

Giving back is one of the most powerful legacies you can leave. Celebrate 50 years of the WEMBA program by making a gift to The Wharton Fund.

Donors who generously contribute $2,500 or more annually to The Wharton Fund are recognized as members of the Benjamin Franklin Society (BFS), the University of Pennsylvania’s leadership annual giving circle. Recent Wharton EMBA graduates, up to four years after graduation, can join at the Young Franklin Society level with gifts of $1,000 or more.

▼ Charitable Gifts Through Your IRA

Individuals may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from their IRA directly to Wharton beginning at age 70½. The amount of the QCD is excluded from a donor’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), and thus not subject to income tax; donors do not receive an income tax charitable deduction for the gift. Donors age 73 and older may use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) to satisfy some or all of their Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), up to the annual limit set by the IRS and adjusted for inflation. The sample letter can be used to send to your IRA plan provider.

It is now possible to make a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA to fund a charitable gift annuity. This opportunity has some limitations and restrictions that differ from standard charitable gift annuities, and these should be examined closely when considering a gift. Contact us to learn more.

▼ Matching Gifts

Don’t miss the unique opportunity to increase the impact of your giving through a matching gift program. To find out if your employer participates and learn more about how to apply a match to your Wharton Fund gift, visit Penn’s matching gifts database.

For more information concerning the Matching Gifts Program, you can call +1.215.898.5069 or contact devgifts@dev.upenn.edu.
