Ways You Can Give

Giving from Your 401k or IRA Retirement Plan

Leave family the balance of savings and checking accounts, and donate double-taxed assets like IRAs to us.



You've worked hard and planned for retirement. Now, with a little creativity, you can leverage your retirement assets to benefit you and your family, reduce federal taxes, and support Operation Mobilization far into the future.

How It Works

  • Name or designate Operation Mobilization as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
  • Pass the balance of your retirement assets to Operation Mobilization by contacting your plan administrator.
  • Important! Tell Operation Mobilization about your gift. Your plan administrator is not obligated to notify us, so if you don't tell us, we may not know.

  • Per OM USA Board policy, OM USA accepts gifts subject to donor designations. However, in accordance with IRS requirements, all gifts are given to and must be treated as belonging fully to Operation Mobilization and are subject to its control. The IRS requires that OM have the power to modify any restriction or designation if, in its sole judgment, such restriction becomes, in effect, unnecessary, incapable of fulfillment or inconsistent with the charitable purpose of Operation Mobilization.
