Qualified Charitable Distributions, also called IRA Charitable Rollovers. If you are 70½ years of age or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit Steep Rock and receive tax benefits in return. You can give any amount up to $108,000 per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity like ours without having to pay income tax on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover or qualified charitable distribution (QCD).
Download and complete our QCD initiation form. Send the completed form to your IRA trustee, who will complete your distribution.
Why are so many people choosing to give through a QCD? It’s simple: You can reduce your tax burden, satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution, and simultaneously support the causes you care about most.
Please consult with your financial advisor to discuss how a QCD might fit into your overall financial strategy. If you decide to proceed with a QCD, simply instruct your IRA custodian to direct a distribution to Steep Rock Association. Here’s a link to Steep Rock’s QCD form to help get you started.
Thank you for your generous support of our conservation efforts — your impact makes all the difference in protecting the natural spaces we cherish. If you’ve already made your gift to Steep Rock, thank you!
