What is a Charitable IRA Distribution?

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a charitable distribution from an eligible individual's IRA that is paid directly to a qualifying charitable organization, subject to applicable IRS rules.

Whether a QCD is available to you and how it affects your tax situation depends on your individual circumstances.

Please consult your IRA administrator, financial advisor, or tax professional for advice about your specific situation.

How to Make an IRA Distribution Direct to Charity

An IRA distribution direct to charity allows an eligible IRA owner to send funds directly from an IRA to a qualifying charitable organization. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) may offer tax benefits when IRS requirements are met. Ask your IRA administrator whether you qualify and how to direct your gift to Outdoor Life Leadership. Consult a qualified tax professional about your individual situation.

Experience the outdoors
