Qualified Charitable Distribution
Saint Thomas More welcomes gifts made through a Qualified Charitable Distribution from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). If you are age 70½ or older, a QCD is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support our parish — the distribution goes directly from your IRA to Saint Thomas More, satisfying all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution without being counted as taxable income.
To make a QCD, contact your IRA administrator and request a direct distribution to Saint Thomas More Catholic Community in Saint Paul, MN. Once your distribution is initiated, please use the form below to notify our parish office. This helps us ensure your gift is properly documented, acknowledged, and — if you wish — directed to a specific ministry or fund.
Giving to the school or the parish?
Saint Thomas More School and Saint Thomas More Church share the same legal name and tax ID, so your gift will look the same on your end either way. Please tell us where you’d like it to go:
-
Saint Thomas More School (Annual Fund, tuition assistance, scholarships, etc.)
-
Saint Thomas More Church (parish ministries, capital campaign, general parish support, etc.)
Please include a note with your check, or notify us separately, saying whether your gift is for the school or the parish. Your IRA custodian’s paperwork won’t always show this.
If we don’t hear from you, a gift will go to the parish’s general fund.
We are grateful for your generosity and your trust in our community.
