Also known as a “charitable IRA rollover,” a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals age 70½ or older to authorize their administrator to directly transfer up to $100,000 annually from their individual retirement account (IRA) to qualified charities, tax-free. If you are age 72 or older, the amount you transfer can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is often administered by a financial services company or a community foundation. It allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your parish and/or the Archdiocese of Chicago.
You can use your DAF to make a one-time gift, or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift for even more impact. While you cannot fulfill legally binding pledges with a donor-advised fund, you are able to attach a special purpose to your grants.
Click here to learn more about donor-advised funds. To conveniently initiate a grant from your DAF, click the button below. Simply type in the name of your fund sponsor, and the system will prompt you through the process.
Give now from your Donor-Advised Fund.
If you have any questions about DAF, please contact us at 312.534.7959 or [email protected].
