IRA

With an IRA charitable rollover gift you can support the work of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Lansing and enjoy valuable tax benefits by making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to The Catholic Foundation. Even better, your gift may count toward your required minimum distribution for the year. If you make a QCD, you will not have to pay federal income tax on the amount of your rollover gift.

Donor Advised Funds

 A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account established for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor advised fund you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS qualified public charity, including The Catholic Foundation. 

The Catholic Foundation is an IRS-qualified public charity eligible to receive DAF distributions. We receive DAF distributions regularly for a variety of donor-selected purposes. We would be honored to accept your DAF distribution.
