Give From Your IRA – and Reduce Your Taxes!
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to support your parish, school, or any Catholic ministry within the Diocese of Lansing.
Why consider an IRA Charitable Rollover gift?
- Your gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)—even if you do not itemize deductions.
- The transfer is not included in your taxable income, so it may help lower your overall tax bill.
- You make an immediate and lasting impact on the ministries that mean the most to you.
How it works:
- Contact your IRA administrator and request a “Qualified Charitable Distribution” (QCD) to The Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Lansing or directly to the Catholic organization you wish to support.
- Your administrator will send the funds directly—no taxes, no hassle.
