IRS Form W-4R
IRS Form W-4R for withholding on nonperiodic IRA distributions (which would include a terminating distribution to a charity) must be filed, otherwise the payer must withhold 10% from the charity's share. It appears it is no longer sufficient to merely check off a "Do Not Withhold" box on a company's IRA Distribution/New Account form, but that they will need an actual Form W-4R. Start automatically including one of these with each packet your charity sends in on an IRA claim. The name and address on the form is for your organization, as is the EIN. Do not include the name or SSN of the control person on this form.
