Support Through Qualified Charitable Distributions

Are you 70½ years old or older with an IRA? You can make a tax-wise contribution to Penny Forward by using a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This method allows you to donate directly from your IRA to Penny Forward, potentially reducing your taxable income and fulfilling part of your required minimum distribution (RMD).

How to Contribute via QCD

By choosing to donate through a QCD, you’re not only benefiting from potential tax advantages but also significantly impacting the lives of those in the blind community by supporting essential financial education services.
