General Donations

Lancaster Downtowners is a 501(c)3 charitable institution, and your gift is tax deductible. All donations are welcome! Our Tax ID/EIN is 84-1713644.

Qualified Charitable Distribution

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows generous people who are 70½ years old or older to donate to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. QCDs are also a great way to get a tax advantage for seniors who don’t itemize on their tax returns. To make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Lancaster Downtowners, contact your broker, financial advisor, or custodian, who will provide you with the required form.

Part of your legacy can be to elevate the mission of Lancaster Downtowners and support our vibrant, connected community.
