The IRS allows IRA owners aged 70 ½ or over, to transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year. These transfers, known as qualified charitable distributions or QCDs, offer eligible older individuals a great way to easily give to charity before the end of the tax year. For those at least 73 years old, QCDs count toward the IRA owners required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. QCDs must be made directly by the trustee of the IRA to the charity. (Source: IRS.gov Nov. 16, 2023)
Please contact your IRA Trustee to complete the transaction.

The first Brother Rice students walked through the doors and into the halls of Brother Rice High School in 1960, starting a rich legacy of traditions. The Warrior Young Alumni Club challenges graduates of the past 15 years and current students to show their loyalty to Brother Rice and their Band of Brothers by making an annual gift of at least $19.60 to the Fund for RICE.Â
Upon graduation, our students join the ranks of Brother Rice Alumni – a proud honor that also comes with the shared responsibility to support the Br. Rice and the Warriors that follow in their footsteps. This is the hallmark of what it means to be a brotherhood of Warriors.
