Qualified Charitable Distribution Donations

In case you missed the opportunity to Adopt to Shop or provide financial assistance to Project Wee Care 2025, you still have the opportunity.  The Millard Business Community Foundation accepts Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) donations in support of Project Wee Care.

QCD allows IRA holders, age 70 1/2 or older, to donate to a qualified charity from their Traditional or Roth IRA (including inherited) tax-free.
 
Consult your tax professional to ensure it is in your best interest to complete a QCD and your distribution qualifies.  The Millard Business Community Foundation qualifies as a 501(C)3 charity. Contact your financial advisor to request the QCD be issued from your Traditional or Roth IRA.
