IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) or IRA Charitable Rollovers, as they are sometimes called, are an increasingly popular way for people age 70½ years old or older to support the work of the Goodman Community Center and your Madison community.
You can make up to $100,000 in tax-free charitable distributions annually directly from your IRA. This not only lowers your taxable income, but if you’re age 72 or older, also helps to meet your required minimum distribution (RMD).
When making financial decisions, we always recommend you speak with your financial advisor or your IRA plan administrator.

* You must be age 70½ or older at the time the gift is made.
* IRA owners can make qualified charitable distribution of up to $100,000 per year.
* Only traditional IRAs are eligible. However, owners of other types of qualified plans may roll assets into a new IRA to make gifts if such a rollover is permitted. Please consult with your advisor before doing so.
* You must request a direct transfer of funds from your plan administrator to the Goodman Community Center. It is important not to withdraw funds before making a gift.
* You cannot receive goods or services, or a personal benefit in return for the gift.
For a QCD to count toward your current year's required minimum distribution, the funds must come out of your IRA by your RMD deadline, which is generally December 31 each year. If you are using an IRA checkbook, be aware that the date of gift is established when the IRA administrator transfers the funds after the Goodman Center deposits the check, not when the check is postmarked or delivered. The time it takes the IRA administrator to transfer the funds varies. Please contact your administrator as soon as possible to ensure your gift is completed by December 31.
