  • A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) offers a simple and tax-efficient way to support Chesterton Academy of Sacramento while making the most of your retirement assets.

    If you are age 70½ or older, you can transfer funds directly from your IRA to the school and exclude that gift from your taxable income, up to the IRS annual limit (currently around $108,000).

    This approach can also count toward your required minimum distribution, allowing you to meet IRS requirements in a way that directly benefits a cause you care about. It’s an effective way to reduce taxable income while strengthening the mission of Catholic classical education at Chesterton Academy of Sacramento.
