Name IFA as a Charity Beneficiary of Your IRA

Designating Intercessors for America (IFA) as a beneficiary on your retirement account or life insurance policy is a simple way to support IFA without changing your will or living trust. Beneficiary designation gifts pass directly to IFA without going through the probate process and go right to work helping us serve a growing community of intercessors and providing vital prayer resources throughout the nation.

Retirement accounts

Many of our donor’s designate IFA as a beneficiary of all or a specified percentage of their IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement plan accounts.
