IRA Disbursements or Qualified Charitable Deductions (QCD)

IRA Charitable Rollover Supporters 70.5 or older with a traditional IRA can donate all or a portion of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and save on income tax. By transferring funds directly from your IRA to Children’s Council of San Francisco, called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), you will reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize.

You may also contact your IRA administrator with our TAX ID#94-2221305 and request that your name be noted on the check.
