How a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) works
You are at least 70½ years old with IRA funds you no longer need.
You make a QCD from your IRA
Your QCD goes directly to Habitat, supporting a cause you care about.
*If you are 73 years old or older, your QCD can count towards your required minimum distribution (RMD)!
