Donate through your IRA-qualified charitable distribution (QCD)

If you are age 70 ½ or above, you may transfer funds from your IRA or other qualified retirement plans directly to a qualified charitable organization, such as OZ.

This transfer may be made instead of taking required minimum IRA distributions. As a result, donors may avoid reaching a higher tax bracket and prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions.  For information on how to make a gift this way, please contact us.
