Qualified Charitable Distribution Donations

Hard to believe the fourth quarter of 2025 is here.  This is when year end tax planning is in full swing.  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.

The donations are used to purchase food, food vouchers and gifts for the kids.  We anticipate 320 families will benefit from Project Wee Care in 2025.
