Many companies offer workplace giving programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. We accept financial gifts from all workplace giving programs. Check with your employer to see if you can use a payroll deduction program to give a gift to IIE.

Employer Matching Gifts
You can double or even triple your gift to IIE with matching funds provided by your employer. Check with your company’s human resources department to learn whether your company offers a gift matching option.

Bequests are the most common planned gift and can be straightforward. You may use this brief paragraph in your will:  

“I give, devise, and bequeath the sum of $____________ or ______ percent of my estate to the Institute of International Education, a nonprofit institution incorporated in the State of New York with the tax identification number 13-1624046, for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

If you are 70 ½ or older, the IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be a tax-wise way to support IIE. If you are required to make annual withdrawals from your IRA, these otherwise taxable distributions can satisfy your annual Required Minimum Distribution, exclude the funds from your taxable income, and make a gift to IIE.

Each year, you can transfer as much as $100,000 to IIE for a purpose that you choose. For married couples, each spouse can transfer up to $100,000 totaling up to $200,000.  

What are the benefits?  

• Transfer tax-free gifts from your IRA directly to IIE  
• Can be applied toward your annual Required Minimum Distribution   
• Potential benefits for individuals who do not itemize deductions on their income tax  
• May be used to satisfy multiyear gift pledges  
• May be used to create an endowed fund or other permanent fund – alone or combined with a bequest in your will   

To initiate the transfer, contact your IRA administrator. The gift must be transferred directly from your IRA account by the IRA administrator to IIE. Donors with check-writing ability for their IRAs may use the checks to complete their gift. Gifts must be received or postmarked by December 31^st to qualify for the current tax year. 

Please consult a tax professional for guidance.  

Recognize a special person in your life with a tribute gift to IIE. Whether you want to commemorate a milestone, celebrate a special occasion, or honor a lost loved one, your meaningful gift will help students, researchers, educators, artists, and many more share knowledge and create a better future for us all.     

Once you complete the donation form, you can choose an e-card design and enter a personalized message to recognize the memory of or celebrate friends, family, or loved ones. The recipient will promptly receive the e-card that highlights the impact of your tribute gift.
