Making a Donation through a QCD from an IRA

Individuals age 70½ or older may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from their IRA to support the campaign. This type of gift can satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution and may provide tax advantages, as it is transferred directly from your IRA to the Diocese.

To ensure your gift benefits St. Michael Parish, please instruct your IRA administrator to make the distribution payable to the Catholic Sharing Appeal, with “St. Michael Parish Glorious Campaign” noted in the memo.

Checks should be mailed to:
Catholic Sharing Appeal
PO Box 230
Wheeling, WV 26003

The Catholic Sharing Appeal office will ensure your gift is properly directed and acknowledged.

Making a Donation through Stock or Appreciated Securities

Donating appreciated stocks or securities is a tax-efficient way to support the campaign while potentially avoiding capital gains tax. By transferring securities directly, you may also be eligible for a charitable deduction based on the full fair market value of the asset.
