Leaving a Legacy. IRA Charitable Rollovers

February 24, 2026

Leave a legacy

"My IRA rollover is a better way to give that benefits all."

Leroy Custer is a proud Idahoan and long-time supporter of Idaho Youth Ranch. When Leroy retired, he wanted to dedicate his time and talents to making the community a better place. He has worked with served Idaho nonprofits since retirement but found a special place at Idaho Youth Ranch, where he serves as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

�If you heard the stories of these kids that need help, you�d have to be pretty hardcore not to want to be inspired to help. That�s why we�re here. It�s about the mission and the lives we can change.�

Leroy found out about IRA rollovers from his tax professional and realized that it was a great vehicle for him to accomplish his philanthropic goals.

 

�My IRA rollover is a great way to give. I feel fortunate to have been able to earn an income that allows me to give back. There is a lot of need and the IRA rollover allows me to make a meaningful gift that can make a real impact.�

The Promising Futures Legacy Society is made up of amazing donors, like Leroy, who live a legacy of compassion. They help Idaho�s most vulnerable kids and leave a legacy of hope. Generous gifts from Legacy Society members ensure that our programs can continue to help kids overcome trauma, heal, and build resilience.

IRA Charitable Rollover Individuals 70� or older can roll over up to $100,000 for an individual and $200,000 for a married couple (as of 2019) from an IRA directly to Idaho Youth Ranch.
