IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) |
Appreciated Securities Donations |

If you can live without using withdrawals from your IRA, an IRA gift is one of the smartest ways to make a real impact for your parish, a ministry or the diocese. An IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is excluded from taxable income so there is no need to itemize to benefit. For individuals who are 70 1/2 years or older, you can give up to $108,000 from a traditional IRA directly to the charity.

Donating shares of publicly traded appreciated stock or mutual funds can be a meaningful gift for your parish, a ministry or the diocese. The tax benefits could make it less costly than a comparable cash gift. Capital gains tax is not assessed. Plus, for a security held for more than 12 months, the fair market value of the gift is deductible if you exceed the threshold for deductions. Values up to 30% of your adjusted gross income are eligible for deduction and can be carried over for up to five years.
