When donating to an organization like SVRC Industries, sometimes donors like to get creative or are searching for a way to make a gift to a cause they believe in that also benefits their tax filings. One way to do this is through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

​

A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity.

​

How does it work?

Step 1: Let us know to expect your gift. You can call us at 989-245-7897 or email our philanthropy department.

​

Step 2: Ask your broker or financial consultant to make the QCD to SVRC Industries, EIN: 38-1740297, and send as follows:

​

SVRC Industries
203 S Washington Ave.

Saginaw, MI 48607

​

Step 3: Celebrate! Your gift will infuse empowerment throughout our community. Thank you!

 

FAQ:

What are the benefits of donating a QCD?

QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met.

​

In addition to the benefits of giving to charity, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare.

​

Also, QCDs don’t require that you itemize, which due to the recent tax law changes, means you may decide to take advantage of the higher standard deduction, but still use a QCD for charitable giving.

​

Can I make a QCD?

While many IRAs are eligible for QCDs—Traditional, Rollover, Inherited, SEP (inactive plans only), and SIMPLE (inactive plans only)* —there are requirements:

​

• You must be 70½ or older to be eligible to make a QCD.
   

• QCDs are limited to the amount that would otherwise be taxed as ordinary income. This excludes non-deductible contributions.
   

• The maximum annual amount that can qualify for a QCD is $100,000. This applies to the sum of QCDs made to one or more charities in a calendar year. (If, however, you file taxes jointly, your spouse can also make a QCD from his or her own IRA within the same tax year for up to $100,000.)
   

• For a QCD to count towards your current year’s RMD, the funds must come out of your IRA by your RMD deadline, generally December 31.
   

• Contributing to an IRA may result in a reduction of the QCD amount you can deduct. (The aggregate amount of deductible IRA contributions you make to your IRA after you turn 70 1/2 will reduce the amount of the QCD that is not includible in your gross income
