Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) from your IRA

Give tax-free gifts from your IRA that benefit our mission and you.

About Qualified Charitable Distributions

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for individuals who are age 70 ½ or older to make gifts directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

QCDs can count towards satisfying an individual’s Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year, which is the minimum amount that an individual must withdraw from their IRA each year once they reach age 73.
