IRA-QCD: IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution, §408(d)(8)
If you are least age 72 years young, you must begin taking IRA distributions. For some types of IRAs you can choose to direct a distribution to a qualified charitable organization and thereby defer it as income. Many supporters take advantage of this to support the COAR kids and enjoying the tax benefits that result. Please contact your retirement manager or firm to make sure of your own situation.
You’ll receive a receipt with the gift details, including all required information for tax receipt purposes, as well as this language: “COAR Peace Mission is a charitable corporation under IRS section 501(c)3. Your gift is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) in accordance with IRS regulations. No goods or services were received in exchange for this gift.”
Planning a QCD Gift? Please Let Us Know
To ensure we can properly acknowledge your gift, please call or email us with the following details before the check is sent:
- Your name
- Approximate date of the gift
- The financial institution issuing the check
- The amount of the gift
If we receive a check without your name included, we won’t be able to identify the donor, as the issuing company does not provide that information.
