Qualified Charitable Distributions or Charitable IRA Rollover

If you are 70 ½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to support the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and receive tax benefits in return. You can donate up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as the Food Bank without having to pay income taxes on the money.

Why Consider a Charitable IRA Rollover?

• Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making in the community
• You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
• If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.

Start your QCD gift with the help of FreeWill, a trusted partner of the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.
