Qualified Charitable Contributions
Give Through Your IRA
If you’re 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to support our mission. This special type of gift can be a smart way to give—while also reducing your taxable income.
What is a QCD?
A QCD (sometimes called an “IRA Charitable Rollover”) allows individuals aged 70½ or older to donate up to $100,000 per year directly from their IRA to a qualified charity, without counting the distribution as taxable income
Benefits of Giving Through a QCD
Tax Savings – QCDs can lower your adjusted gross income, even if you don’t itemize deductions.
Satisfy RMDs – If you’re 73 or older and required to take annual minimum distributions (RMDs), your QCD can count toward that requirement.
Direct Impact – Your gift goes straight to work supporting SCSCR, helping us fulfill our mission
Important Details
You must be 70½ or older at the time of the gift.
Gifts must come directly from your IRA to qualify.
The maximum annual QCD is $108,000 per person.

Contact your IRA administrator and request a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Second Chance Sheridan Cat Rescue.
Provide our legal name, address, and Tax ID (EIN).
