Make a tax-saving gift today by giving through your IRA. A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $108,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
Contact your IRA administrator to request a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA to St. Catherine’s School.
