IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

If you are age 70 or older, you can instruct your IRA administrator to make a "Qualified Charitable Distribution" directly to Arborcrest Gardens. These gifts are particularly impactful because they can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year without being added to your adjusted gross income, potentially lowering your tax bracket.
