Legacy Giving

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) offers a uniquely powerful and tax-efficient way to support Equest directly from your IRA. 

Individuals aged 70½ or older can support Equest while enjoying tax advantages. By utilizing a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), you can donate up to $108,000* directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualifying charity, such as Equest, without incurring federal income tax on the distribution.

*Please consult your financial advisor if you make tax-deductible contributions to your IRA, as this may affect your QCD limit. The QCD limit is adjusted annually for inflation.
