IRA Gifts

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) allow donors, age 70½ or older, to make gifts of up to $100,000 from a traditional IRA to charity. QCDs are made directly from the donor’s IRA account and can be excluded from gross income even if the donor does not itemize each year. QCDs count toward a donor’s required minimum distribution (RMD), when required by the donor’s age. By reducing taxable income, QCDs can lower a donor’s tax bill and may help donors avoid Medicare surcharges. And, as IRA QCDs pass tax-free to charity, 100% of your gift can be used by Audubon Canyon Ranch to continue to protect nature for years to come.
