Retirement Accounts

If you are at least 70 1⁄2, you can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA to The Compass Evangelical Free Church (DBA The Compass Church) without adding a penny to your taxable income. If you are of Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) age, the amount you decide to give will typically count toward your required minimum distribution (up to $105,000). Check with your tax professional for your specific details.

Your gift will:

  • not be included in your taxable income
  • satisfy your required minimum distribution for the year
  • reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions
  • help fuel our shared mission at The Compass Church

For more information about how you and the Church can benefit from an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), contact your IRA administrator, tax preparer, or our finance department - finance@thecompass.net
