The IRA Gift (QCD)

Your IRA can provide a tax-smart way to make an impact with St. George's School now. The Qualified Charitable Distribution or QCD (sometimes called an “IRA Charitable Rollover”) is a great way to make a tax-free gift now to St. George's School and satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), too.

How Do I Qualify?

The Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) offers multiple benefits for making gifts from your IRA.

• You must be 70½ years or older at the time of the gift.
• Gifts must go directly from your IRA to St. George's School.
• For 2026, total QCD gifts cannot exceed $111,000 per donor.

Benefits of Qualified Charitable Distribution

• If you don’t itemize your income tax deductions, a QCD offers all of the benefits of an itemized income tax charitable deduction
• If you are age 73 or older and must take a Required Minimum Distribution RMD, a QCD gift can satisfy your RMD without increasing your income taxes.
• You may direct your gift to a program or area of your choice.
• It is a wonderful way to create an immediate impact on St. George's School.
