IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions

With an IRA qualified charitable distribution (QCD), also known as an IRA charitable rollover, individuals may make direct charitable distributions of up to $100,000 from their traditional, rollover, or Roth IRAs without including such distributions in their gross income, if they meet the following requirements:

A donor must be at least 70 1/2 years of age at the time of the transfer
The funds must pass directly from the donor’s IRA custodian to CRJS

This provision applies to: IRAs, Roth IRAs, inactive SEPs, and inactive SIMPLE IRAs. Active SEP, active SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)s, 401(k)s, and pension plans are not eligible. The gift may satisfy a donor’s IRA required minimum distribution for the year. Since the amount of the direct charitable distribution can be excluded from the donor’s gross income, there is no federal income tax deduction available for such gifts.

Matching Gifts

Many corporations will match philanthropic donations made by their employees. This is a great way to maximize your gift. You could possibly double your gift with a corporate match. Simply send us the appropriate paperwork from your employer’s human resources or personnel department, and your gift to Seton Catholic Prep will be matched according to your company's guidelines.

Planned Giving

You can remember Seton Catholic Prep by leaving a gift in your will or estate plan. Please contact Craig Schaefer, Development Director, 360-258-1932 ext. 225 or email, [email protected] for more information regarding bequests and planned gifts.
