Your IRA can provide a tax-smart way to support Lancaster Bible College. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), sometimes called an IRA Charitable Rollover, allows you to make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA while also satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), if applicable.

How Do I Qualify?

The Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) offers multiple benefits for making gifts from your IRA.

  • You must be 70½ years or older at the time of the gift.
  • Gifts must go directly from your IRA to Lancaster Bible College.
  • For 2026, total QCD gifts cannot exceed $111,000 per donor.

Benefits of Qualified Charitable Distribution

  • If you don’t itemize your income tax deductions, a QCD offers all of the benefits of an itemized income tax charitable deduction.
  • If you are age 73 or older and must take a Required Minimum Distribution RMD, a QCD gift can satisfy your RMD without increasing your income taxes.
  • You may direct your gift to a program or area of your choice.
  • It is a wonderful way to create an immediate impact on Lancaster Bible College.
