Blog Qualified Charitable Distributions

You can improve lives across Eastern Long Island when you use your retirement account to make a gift to East End Hospice.

Individuals age 70 ½ or older are eligible to donate up to $105,000.00 per year from their qualified retirement account. These donations are called Qualified Charitable Distributions. They’re easy to initiate and can be especially beneficial to people who do not itemize charitable deductions or are age 73 and above and must take a required minimum distribution.

Qualified Charitable Distributions are issued directly from an eligible retirement account to an eligible 501 (c) (3), like East End Hospice.

If you’re thinking about year-end giving and want to learn more about Qualified Charitable Distributions, please call Emily K. Madsen, Director of Development, at 631.288.7080 or email emadsen@eeh.org.
