If you are over 70 1/2 years old, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA or Roth IRA to Highlands Camp & Retreat Center. For it to qualify as a QCD, the payment must be made directly from your IRA custodian to Highlands. The benefit of giving a QCD is that a QCD counts towards your Required Minimum Distribution and the QCD amount does not count as income to you. To give a QCD, you should instruct your IRA custodian to make a QCD directly to Highlands Camp & Retreat Center. You will need to provide your IRA custodian with the address, phone number, and Tax ID listed below:
