A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate money to eligible charitable organizations directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) without incurring income tax on the distribution.

Benefits

1. Can count towards the required minimum distribution (RMD) that must be taken annually from an IRA, up to a maximum amount per year, which can help reduce the tax burden on IRA distributions.

2. A QCS can be a tax-efficient way for individuals aged 70½ or older to donate money to charity.

3. Maximizes charitable impact and potentially avoids tax implications that may come with taking a traditional IRA distribution.

You can include CRMS in your estate plans when you name CRMS as a beneficiary of a will, trust, mutual fund, retirement plan, or life insurance policy. These legacy gifts allow you to join the Holden Circle and make a lasting impact on CRMS.
