An Innovative Way to Support Your Neighbors
Consider Qualified Charitable Distributions
Learn how a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA can make a lasting impact at Lafayette Urban Ministry. For supporters age 70½ and older, a QCD is a smart way to support the LUM mission while receiving tax benefits. A direct transfer from your IRA to LUM through a QCD avoids taxable income and satisfies all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution.
Your QCD gift helps provide shelter, food, and financial assistance to neighbors in crisis. By giving through a QCD, you can make a meaningful impact while also reducing your taxable income. Talk to your financial advisor to see if a QCD is right for you.
Your generosity helps LUM be a lifeline for those in our community who need it the most.
