How to Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a convenient, tax-free way to donate up to $108,000* per year to Sojourner Project or other qualified charitable organizations while satisfying the Individual Retirement Account (IRA) required minimum distributions.

No matter the size, your gift makes a difference. When you contribute to Sojourner Project through a QCD, you help ensure that survivors of domestic violence have a safe place to turn, along with the resources they need to rebuild their lives.

Interested in making a gift through your QCD?

• You must be at least 70 ½ years old.  IRAs start requiring minimum distributions at age 73.

• You may transfer up to $108,000* per year directly from your traditional or Roth IRA to Sojourner or other qualified charitable organizations.  

• Married couples can gift up to $108,000* per person, per year, from their IRA if each meets the requirements.

• You may not receive any goods or services in return for your gift

Information you’ll need to complete a QCD:

Legal name: Sojourner Project   

Tax ID number: 41-1363580

Address: PO Box 272, Hopkins, MN 55343 (If your financial advisor requires a physical location, reach out to us for assistance).

Please notify us when you request a QCD so that your gift can be matched to you when it arrives. It is helpful to let us know the financial institution that will be issuing the check and the contribution amount. Many financial institutions do not include the donor's name on the check.
