  • If you are 70 ½ or older you can use your IRA to fulfill your charitable goals and support scholarships for deserving students. Congress has enacted a permanent IRA charitable rollover. The IRA charitable rollover is also called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). Individuals may direct that their annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) be sent directly to charitable organizations such as CCSF. Individuals may transfer up to $100,000 each year. Please note that IRA charitable rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction. However, the donor does not have to claim the distribution as income.
