The Community Foundation of Dunn County is in support of H.R. 2891, the IRA Charitable Rollover Facilitation and Enhancement Act of 2025. This legislation would allow direct rollovers from IRAs into donor-advised funds, empowering individuals to give more strategically to causes they care about.
Since 1995, our donor-advised funds have helped strengthen our community. It was this recent grant cycle that supported 87 local nonprofits with over $159,990, funding initiatives in health, education, the environment, and basic needs right here in Dunn County. With H.R. 2891, the positive impact delivered by community foundations could grow dramatically.
H.R. 2891 would:
-Multiply charitable giving nationwide
-Support local nonprofits and rural communities
-Give donors flexibility and control over their philanthropic impact
This legislation can help make even more possible in Dunn County and in communities nationwide.
