IRA Charitable Gifts (QCDs & RMDs) – At a Glance
If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the School Sisters of St. Francis. A QCD allows you to support our mission without increasing your taxable income.
Beginning at age 73, you may also use your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to make a charitable gift.
2026 QCD Limits
- Individuals: You may give up to $111,000 directly from your IRA.
- Married couples: Each spouse may donate up to $111,000, for a combined total of $222,000.
Why This Matters
- Your gift reduces taxable income
- It can count toward your RMD
- You make a meaningful impact on the sisters and their ministries
