Qualified Charitable Deductions (QCD)

If you’re 70.5 or older and own an individual retirement account (IRA), the IRS permits tax free transfers directly to Hope House as a 501c3 charitable organization through Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD). The entire QCD amount goes to Hope House, is not income to the donor, is tax-free and satisfies part or all the the annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) up to $108,000. This can benefit you and our mission!

QCD’s provide a tax-free pathway to continue or enhance charitable support of Hope House while using the standard deduction option. The QCD comes directly from your retirement account custodian to Hope House, the donor does not take ownership of the distribution. Most IRA custodial institutions provide simple guidelines for setting up the QCD process. QCD’s can be utilized as soon as age 70.5.

If you have questions about QCD’s please email bryan@hopehousebg.com, view the documents below, or contact your tax advisor.
