Make a Lasting Impact Through Your IRA

If you're age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) offers a simple way to support Sandy Spring Museum while potentially benefiting from favorable tax treatment. Your gift may be excluded from taxable income and can help satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). To qualify, the distribution must be made directly from your IRA to Sandy Spring Museum (EIN 52-1224038). Please consult your IRA custodian or tax adviser regarding current rules and limits.

Please request your IRA custodian directly mail the check to:

Sandy Spring Museum
Office of Development
17901 Bentley Road
Sandy Spring, MD 20860

If your IRA custodian has provided you with an IRA checkbook, please write the check to Sandy Spring Museum. If you wish your gift to count toward the current calendar year, please consider mailing your check no later than December 1.

Note: Only traditional or Roth IRAs qualify for these donation benefits. Retirement plans, such as a 401k, 403b, and others, do NOT qualify.
