Required Minimum Distribution

As you plan your financial transactions, have you considered leveraging your Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) to make a significant difference? A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to Stanislaus State, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a powerful way to support higher education and create a lasting legacy.
RMDs serve a range of purposes, from covering living expenses to making new investments, transferring wealth to loved ones, or donating to charities through qualified charitable distributions. QCDs allow a direct transfer from your IRA to a qualified charity of your choice, including Stanislaus State.
