Qualified Charitable Distribution

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD), also called IRA Charitable Rollover

Make a Tax-Free Gift from Your IRA

Support Valley City State University Foundation through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA and enjoy tax benefits while making a meaningful impact.

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?

A QCD allows individuals aged 70½ or older to donate up to $100,000 per year directly from their IRA to a qualified charity without paying income tax on the distribution. These gifts count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and offer a tax-efficient way to support VCSU.

Who Can Give?

  • You must be age 70½ or older at the time of the distribution.
  • You must give from a traditional IRA.
  • You can donate up to $100,000 per year tax-free.

101 College Street SW
Valley City, ND 58072
EIN: 23-7178785

  1. Notify us of your gift using our online form or by contacting our office.
  2. Ensure the check is made payable to "Valley City State University Foundation" and mailed to the address above.
