Tax-Wise Giving From Your IRA
If you’re age 70.5 or older and have an IRA, you can make a gift to LVC and save on taxes—especially if you don’t itemize.
It’s called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), and it’s fairly simple to do.
Instruct your IRA administrator to make a distribution from the IRA directly to LVC. We’ll direct your gift to whichever College priority you choose.
For 2024, gifts of up to $105,000 are eligible.
You do not claim it as income for tax purposes since the distribution comes directly to The Valley.
A QCD gift will count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), if you have one this year.
For many donors, a QCD is the most tax-advantaged way to support LVC students because it’s a gift made from pre-tax assets.
