Qualified Charitable Distributions
Some of our members have taken advantage of making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to the Church. A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, to a qualified charity. QCDs can count toward satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year, as long as certain rules are followed. In addition to the benefits of giving to a charity like our Church, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, unlike regular IRA withdrawals. There are a number of rules, so you must talk to your tax advisor to see if you can take advantage of this.

Please make sure to include “QCD” in the memo section of your check or any accompanying paperwork. For questions, contact our Chief Operations Officer (COO).
