To thank you for supporting the future of our Catholic faith, we’d like to share FreeWill, a free estate-planning tool to help you support your own future. Take 20 minutes to write your will and protect your blessings. Get started on your free will.
Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your traditional IRA has many benefits. It allows you to avoid paying income tax on the required distributions from your IRA account. A QCD will enable you to make generous charitable contributions to a fund or organization of your choice. A QCD helps you avoid paying income tax on a Required Minimum Distribution from your traditional IRA. You can make a gift to a parish, ministry, school, or Catholic organization by donating your RMD to charity. Rather than pay income tax on the RMD from your traditional IRA, you can donate the RMD to charity tax-free or establish a new fund at the Catholic Foundation. Another benefit of a QCD is creating a legacy gift in your family’s name that would continue to give back to a parish or school or your choice in perpetuity. A gift like this could outlive you!
For more information on Qualified Charitable Distributions, consult your tax advisor or IRA administrator to learn more. The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso wants to help you give charitably in a way that is meaningful to you.
