QCD Giving

Did you know that you can decrease your taxable income by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to Grace Academy? By making a gift using a portion of your Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA, you can save money on taxes while supporting bright futures for our students.

To Qualify:

  • You must be at least 70 ½ years old when you make the gift to Grace Academy.

  • The contribution must be directly transferred from your IRA to Grace Academy.

Tax Benefits:

  • QCDs count toward satisfying your required minimum distribution for the year. If you have to take your required minimum distribution and have a surplus, giving to Grace Academy gives you the option avoid paying income tax on the RMD income up to $100,000 per individual.

To Get Started:

  • Contact your advisor and instruct them to gift funds from your IRA to Grace Academy.

  • So we can thank you for your gift, let your advisor know to note your name and that the transfer is an IRA QCD.

With questions contact Director of Development, Maria Carlson, at mcarlson@graceacademyhartford.org
