Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a savvy way for individuals aged 70½ or older to make a tax-free donation to a qualified charity, such as Sandy Spring Friends School, directly from their IRA. By choosing this method, the donation counts toward the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), but it isn’t included in taxable income, effectively reducing your tax liability. To make a QCD to SSFS, simply instruct your IRA custodian to transfer funds directly to our organization, ensuring the full amount benefits the organization without any tax implications for you. This allows you to maximize your contribution while enjoying significant tax savings.

Please include this information when working with your IRA custodian:
