Make a Difference with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

Looking to support Christian Living Communities in a tax-efficient way? Consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA.

A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA to a qualified charity, like CLC, that counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year, while also reducing your taxable income.


Key Benefits of QCDs

  • Reduce Taxable Income: QCDs lower your adjusted gross income, which can have additional tax benefits.
  • Meet Your RMD Requirement: For those 70½ and older, a QCD counts toward your required minimum distribution.
  • Make an Immediate Impact: Your gift will directly support vital services and programs that enhance the lives of older adults across our communities.
  • Make a Lasting Impact: Donating from your IRA is a meaningful way to support Christian Living Communities and make a lasting impact. Learn more at: https://clclegacy.org.

As always, we encourage you to meet with your financial advisor to determine if such strategies are right for you.
