Matching Gift Opportunities

Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name?

Qualified Charitable Distribution
You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to The Salvation Army Eastern Territory. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact and ensure our work of meeting human need wherever, whenever, and however we can. Here’s how it works:

  • You must be 70½ or older.
  • An individual may transfer up to a total of $105,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $210,000 to all organizations.
  • An individual may take a one-time QCD up to $53,000 to fund a charitable gift annuity (CGA) or charitable remainder trust (CRT).
  • Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to The Salvation Army Eastern Territory.
  • Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to The Salvation Army Eastern Territory so it does not count as income for the year.
  • If you are 73 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.

You can download a sample letter for your IRA administrator here to start the distribution process. You may also be able to request a qualified charitable distribution through your online account portal.

Please note: If you are still working and contributing to a retirement account, this gift could impact your taxable income. Please consult a qualified advisor before making a gift.
