Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you are 70 ½ years old or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) of up to $100,000 to support Cornerstones’ mission each year. These donations not only support our stability-building programs but can also be a tax-efficient way to give. You avoid the income tax on the donated portion of your required minimum distribution if you are 72 (70 ½ before January 1, 2020) or older. If you’re interested in learning more about QCDs, please reach out to Development@cornerstonesva.org.
