IRA Charitable Gifts

Supporters 70½ years or older may want to consider this tax-saving opportunity. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) directly from a Traditional or Roth IRA account lower your taxable income.

For those over 73, you are required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA. QCDs can be used to satisfy all or part of your RMD.

In 2026, the QCD limit is $111,000 per person annually ($222,000 for married couples). You can direct a gift from your IRA to a qualified charity, without having to count the distribution as taxable income.

Before making a gift, we encourage you to consult with your financial advisor or tax professional to determine how the potential tax benefits apply to your individual circumstances.

To take advantage of this option, please have your IRA plan administrator send a check to:
