- Donate via IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD): Generally, if you are age 73 and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you must take a required minimum distribution (RMD) annually from your account. A QCD can be used to meet part or all of your RMD requirement and may reduce your taxable income for the year (seek advice from your accountant or financial advisor). For instructions, contact the Board’s vice-president of finance Sheila Barnhart (see the directory in the Members section).
