Gifts of Other Assets
Individual Retirement Account Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Individuals who are 70½ are permitted to donate up to $105,000 from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to charity. The funds contributed are excluded from gross income and can be counted towards the annual required minimum distribution.
Communicate with your IRA’s custodian (where your IRA is held) that you are interested in making a QCD. Make the request for a QCD in writing. Specify the dollar amount that you wish to contribute. Request the check (or transfer) be made payable to the Thousand Island Park Foundation, Inc.
Note: Generally, QCD funds should be transferred directly from the IRA to the Foundation by the IRA custodian or trustee to qualify as a QCD. Where a custodian or trustee organization offers an IRA checking account, the IRA account check for the QCD funds must be delivered to the charity. If you simply withdraw funds from the IRA and then deposit it with the charity using your own checking account, it will be disqualified asa QCD, but could be deducted as a charitable contribution if deductions are itemized on your return. Please seek the advice of a tax professional.
