Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)2024-07-19T16:14:26+00:00

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) gives individuals who are at least 70 1/2 years old the ability to gift to the Foundation as much as $100,000 directly from your IRA. Since the IRA withdrawal substitutes for your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), you save on taxes while having a strong, positive impact on your community.
