IRA Charitable Rollover
An IRA Charitable Rollover, or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), lets donors 70½ or older make a tax-smart gift to charity.
START EARLY. To qualify as a QCD, your gift must clear the bank before Dec. 31. And, it may take your IRA custodian a few weeks to process your gift. Contact your IRA custodian to let them know you intend to make a QCD to Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch.
BE DIRECT. In order to avoid taxes on distributions to charity, your custodian must transfer your gift directly to Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch. Contact us at 701-839-7888 for the information your IRA custodian will need.
LET US KNOW. We receive QCD funds directly from the IRA administrator and unless you tell us you directed a gift, we may not know it came from you! If we know your gift is coming, we can be sure to give you credit and say “thank you.” In 2026, you can transfer up to $111,000 from your IRA to a charity.

Charitable Gift Annuity
If you would like to increase your retirement income and leave an impactful gift to our organization, a charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a worthwhile option to consider.
A CGA is a simple written agreement signed by you and your organization. You transfer cash or appreciated property to our organization in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed payments for the rest of your life.
The payment rate is based on your age on your nearest birthday. Upon your passing, the annuity ceases, and the remaining principal is used to further our mission.
Benefits:
- Receive fixed payments to you, or another annuitant you designate, for life.
- Receive a charitable income tax deduction for the charitable gift portion of the annuity.
- Payments may be partially tax-free.
Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch offers Charitable Gift Annuities through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Foundation. Contact us at 701-839-7888 for more information or a Charitable Gift Annuity Application.
