Charitable IRA Gifts


Qualified Charitable Distributions

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, are the savviest way for individuals age 70.5 or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact.

Whether you want to make a QCD gift to IGHL today, request a tax acknowledgement letter for a gift already made, or just learn more about QCDs, you can find resources for each below.

I've already made a QCD gift to IGHL and I need a tax acknowledgement letter.

Thank you for your support! If you've already given a QCD gift to IGHL and haven't yet received your acknowledgement letter, please report your gift details so that we can verify your gift and provide you with your letter.
