Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows individuals age 70½ or older to make direct transfers from their traditional IRA(s) to qualified charities, up to a certain annual limit, without the funds being taxed as income. This can be a way to fulfill Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) while also supporting charity. If you make a QCD, please ask your financial institution to attach your name to the IRA donation so that we can associate the gift with you.
