Dick Hirsh '65 and his wife, Marcia '66, have spent their lives giving back. This Miami Merger has been generous not only to their alma mater, but to their many other philanthropic interests. Through exceptional volunteer roles as well as generous financial gifts, they have impacted a number of causes near and dear to their hearts.
In 2013, they established the Richard '65 and Marcia Hirsh '66 Scholarship.
Dick and Marcia have carefully considered how they make their gifts. By contributing through an individual retirement account, they have been able to make very generous contributions each year. Using an IRA allows each of them to be able to make larger gifts than might otherwise be possible.
Qualified charitable distributions from IRAs allow individuals to make direct contributions up to $100,000 without paying income tax on the distribution—and the distributions count toward the annual required minimum distribution.
