Qualified Charitable Distributions

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) can be made from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), not exceeding $111,000, for individuals 70 ½ years of age or older in 2026. Distributions to organizations like Cedar Crest College count towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while reducing the amount of taxable income.  

When you contact your IRA administrator, provide all the following information to them. In addition, please include written instructions on how you would like to designate your gift.  

Cedar Crest College 
100 College Dr. Allentown, PA 18104 
Tax ID#: 23-1365953 

Thank you for making Cedar Crest part of your retirement plan; our students become better scholars, leaders, and community members through your generosity. 

*All charitable distributions are tax free; however, you will not receive a tax-deduction for QCD gifts*
