Additional Ways to Give

Matching Gift - Please check if your employer offers a matching gift program which may increase and, in some cases, double the impact of your donation.

IRA/QCD Donations - If you are 70.5 or older, gifts up to $100,000 from your IRA may be directly transferred from an IRA to a qualified charity such as the Jesuit Retreat House, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Even though the SECURE Act raised the required minimum distribution (RMD) age to 72, the QCD age remains at 70.5, so QCDs can be used for charitable giving even before RMDs begin. Check first with your IRA administrator or tax advisor for more detailed information about Qualified Charity Distributions.

Appreciated Securities- To transfer stock ownership to the Jesuit Retreat House, the following information will help you and/or your financial advisor:

  • DTC # 0141 | Account # 3632-0118 | Account Name: Jesuit Retreat House
