An increasing number of our alumni are finding that QCDs make sense as they support the Dominguez Centenary, their parishes, and other charities. If you are over 70½ and taking your IRA’s Retired Minimum Distributions, QCDs may make sense. This method allows you to make income tax-free distributions from your IRA to a charity, rather than give a gift from after-tax dollars. Information on QCDs can be obtained from your brokerage, or take a look at Fidelity Investment’s website (https://www.fidelity.com › learn-about-iras›qcds). Alumni thinking of benefiting the Claretians with a gift from their IRA account may get information and instructions by contacting [email protected]. Needless to say, alumni should first contact their tax advisor to see if a QCD makes sense in their particular situation.
