About
If you are age 70 ½ or older and own a Roth or traditional IRA, the Charitable IRA “Rollover” or “Qualified Charitable Distribution” (QCD) offers advantages for your charitable giving. Tax law allows you to use your required minimum distribution (or up to $100,000 per IRA owner) to support Houston Grand Opera while bypassing your gross income. Better than a charitable deduction!
Advantages:
— Addresses the “lost” charitable deduction of the new tax law without the need to itemize;
— May keep you in a lower tax bracket;
— More of your hard-earned savings will avoid taxes while supporting your love of opera.
Opera goes beyond our mainstage productions through special events that breathe new life into the arts along with philanthropic initiatives.
