Become a Sustaining Member 

Are you 70½ or older?  Do you know that you can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to DeafOutreach.org that is not taxed and is not included in your taxable income? 

Contact us to help you set up a one time, monthly, or quarterly pledge. This planned giving can greatly help us plan and budget for the year.

(QCDs cannot be given through our on-line Giving links) 

For more information, contact Pastor Reinke at 608-436-9600 or revreinke@deafoutreach.org.  Pastor Reinke will answer your initial questions and arrange for you to speak with a financial specialist, if necessary.

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD): What It Is, How It Lowers Your Taxes (investopedia.com) 

What Is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a distribution from your individual retirement account (IRA) to a qualified charity. You must be age 70½ or older to make a QCD. A qualified charitable distribution is not taxed, nor is it included in your taxable income.

1 If certain conditions are met, QCDs also can count toward the required minimum distributions (RMDs) that people who are age 73 or older must meet each year if they have traditional IRAs (or a number of other tax-advantaged retirement plans that you can’t use for a QCD). Also important: You don’t have to itemize on your tax return to take advantage of a QCD. 2 Internal Revenue Service. “Retirement Plan and IRA Required Minimum Distributions FAQs.”
