A gift from your IRA is a meaningful and tax‑efficient way to support the mission of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the church.
How to Make an IRA Gift (QCD)
- Contact your IRA custodian
Reach out to your IRA custodian and request a Qualified Charitable Distribution. - Request a direct transfer
The gift must be sent directly from your IRA to the church in order to qualify as a QCD. - Designate your gift
If your IRA custodian allows, please include a note indicating how you would like your gift to be used (for example, General Support, Catholic Charities or Capital Campaign). - Confirm your distribution
Your IRA custodian will issue the payment directly to the church and provide you with documentation for your records.
