Tax-Smart Ways to Support Our School:

Qualified Charitable Distribution: If you have reached the age when the IRS requires you to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA you may want to consider a more impactful way of utilizing those funds.
Give Your RMD Tax-Free to St. Albert the Great Academy through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)Instead of taking your RMD as income — and paying taxes on it — you can have your IRA custodian send funds directly to St. Albert the Great Academy. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
Benefits of a QCD

• You pay no income tax on the donated amount

• It may reduce your taxable income

• It may help lower Medicare premiums and reduce taxes on Social Security

• It directly supports the mission of St. Albert the Great Academy

Simply contact your IRA provider (Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, etc.) and say: “Please send a Qualified Charitable Distribution to St. Albert the Great Academy.” They will guide you from here.
