IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

(QCD)
If you are of the age you must take a required minimum distribution from your traditional IRA, you can transfer up to $100,000 to The Dayton Foundation as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) and not have it show as income for tax purposes. This can result in substantial tax savings for you. Married couples with two separate IRA accounts may transfer up to $200,000 tax free annually.

Required minimum distributions (RMD) sent directly to your fund are considered a QCD, satisfy the RMD requirement and are not considered taxable income. For information about donating your RMD or making a QCD, contact Michelle Lovely, CRFE, Senior Vice President, Development & Donor Services, at mlovely@daytonfoundation.org or at (937) 225-9948.
