Make a meaningful gift to support Water Street by giving directly from your IRA.
If you’re age 70½ or older, you can make a meaningful gift to support our ministry and mission by giving directly from your IRA.
This special way of giving is known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), and it allows you to give tax-free from your traditional IRA directly to a qualified nonprofit like Water Street Mission. Your gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and is not included in your taxable income.
100% of your gift goes toward supporting Christ-centered care and a path forward for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Lancaster County.
If you’re ready to get started, you can use our sample letter to send to your financial advisor or IRA administrator.
