Qualified Charitable Distributions

A QCD allows individuals 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly to Pine Castle from their IRA.

You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help further our mission. If you are 70½ or older you may also be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. A QCD is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.

Benefits of a qualified charitable distribution

  • Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $111,000 from your IRA to our organization
  • Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year
  • Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions
  • Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts
  • Help further the work and mission of our organization
