Couple Helps Local Library

Beverly and Gene Johnson

In 2011 Wausa needed new library facilities. So as they have done often in the past, Gene and Beverly Johnson have made a major gift to the community. Gene and Beverly each used a Charitable IRA Rollover to make a combined gift of $40,000 to move the project forward.

The Charitable IRA Rollover law, which expired December 31, 2011, allowed those age 70½ and older to transfer funds from an IRA to a charity tax free.
