Support Oaks Through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Did you know there’s a tax-smart way to support Oaks of Hebron if you’re 70½ or older? It’s called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—a direct transfer of funds from your IRA to a qualified nonprofit like Oaks. Not only does this generous act make a lasting impact in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities, but it can also help you meet your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.
By giving through a QCD, you can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA. This type of gift does not count as taxable income, which may help reduce your overall tax burden, including potential impacts on Medicare premiums or Social Security benefits. It’s a simple, efficient way to turn your retirement savings into meaningful support for a cause you care about.
If you’re considering a QCD to support Oaks of Hebron, we recommend consulting your financial advisor or IRA custodian to start the process. We are here to help answer any questions and provide the information your advisor may need. Your support helps us continue to provide personalized services that promote independence, dignity, and inclusion for every individual we serve.
