IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to take advantage of your IRA to make tax-smart charitable gifts to Camp Red Cedar. By requesting a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) or charitable rollover from your IRA, you can direct up to $105,000 each calendar year to eligible charities—including Camp Red Cedar. Benefits to using your IRA for charitable giving may include lowering your taxable income, counting the distribution toward your required minimum distribution, and providing support to the life-changing programs at Camp Red Cedar.

 

How to Request an IRA QCD

Contact your IRA administrator for instructions on how to request a qualified charitable distribution for Camp Red Cedar. You may need to provide your administrator with additional details for Camp Red Cedar including:

 

Legal Name: Anthony Wayne Rehabilitation Center for Handicapped & Blind, Inc.

Address for Distribution: Camp Red Cedar 3900 Hursh Road Fort Wayne, IN 46845

Tax ID: 35-1049596

Phone Number: (260) 637-3608

 

Please notify our Executive Director, Carolyn Bean, about your incoming QCD and any designation for your gift at cbean@campredcedar.com or (260) 637-3608. Some IRA administrators send checks with no identifying donor information, so sharing the details of your QCD helps ensure we can confirm receipt of the funds and make sure you are properly credited for the gift.
