Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
At Morgan’s Caring Connection, we understand the importance of securing a legacy that reflects your values and passion for helping others. One powerful way to contribute to our mission while benefiting from tax advantages is through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
What is a QCD?
A Qualified Charitable Distribution allows individuals aged 70½ or older to donate up to $100,000 per year directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charity like Morgan’s Caring Connection. By making a QCD, you can fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.
Why Choose a QCD?
Tax Efficiency:
QCDs offer significant tax advantages. Since the distribution goes directly to the charity, it is not included in your taxable income, which can help reduce your overall tax liability.
Satisfy Your RMD:
If you are 73 or older and required to take an RMD, a QCD can satisfy this requirement while supporting a cause you care deeply about.
Make a Meaningful Impact:
Your QCD will directly support Morgan’s Caring Connection’s mission to provide grants and resources to families with special needs dependents. Your gift will help secure the future of those who need it most.
How to Make a QCD
Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution is straightforward:
Contact Your IRA Custodian:
Reach out to your IRA custodian to inform them of your intent to make a QCD to Morgan’s Caring Connection.
