If you are age 70.5 or older, a smart way to give is through the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) of your IRA. Contact your IRA provider now and direct all or a portion of a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Walsingham Academy; tax identification number 54-0592702; P.O. Box 8702, Williamsburg, Virginia 23187. If you are 73 or older, the QCD counts against your Required Minimum Distribution, lowering or eliminating the taxable income on your RMD. Walsingham Academy will issue a receipt for your taxes. Please note: QCD checks must be received by December 31 to qualify for an individual's 2025 RMD.

Please note that IRA administrators frequently do not include the donor’s name on IRA QCD checks. If you are planning or have initiated a QCD gift, please let us know so we may promptly and correctly acknowledge your donation.
