QCDs (Qualified Charitable distributions)

Are you 70.5 or older?

If you answered yes to that question, and you have a traditional IRA, then there’s a smarter way to give to HEA. You can make a contribution, also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), from your IRA. This contribution will be 100% tax-free, and this is true for itemizers and non-itemizers alike!

​If you have any questions about QCDs and how they may affect your annual tax return, we suggest speaking with your tax advisor.

Thank you for considering this tax-savvy way to help more companion animals!
