Discover the Benefits of a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Reduce Your Taxable Income
When you take funds from your IRA, they count as taxable income. But if you transfer them directly to Grove City College, you reduce your taxable income while satisfying your RMD.
Fulfill Your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
After you turn 73, you must distribute funds from your IRA. If you do not distribute the required minimum, you may be penalized, but a QCD allows a transfer up to $108,000 per individual or $216,000 per couple to satisfy your RMD.
Transform Lives
When you make a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA to Grove City College, you will help us transform students’ lives through Christ-centered learning for years to come.
“We have three grandchildren attending Grove City College. We have seen the fruits of the college in their lives, in terms of academics, spiritual growth, and character. The college has exceeded their expectations. I encourage those who can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to consider making one to GCC.”
— Dick Barber
