All donations are tax deductible.

Other Ways to Give
IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to take advantage of your IRA to make tax-smart charitable gifts to The Magical Meadows. By requesting a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) or charitable rollover from your IRA, you can direct funds each calendar year to eligible charities—including The Magical Meadows. Benefits to using your IRA for charitable giving may include lowering your taxable income, counting the distribution toward your required minimum distribution, and providing support to the life-changing programs at The Magical Meadows.
How to Request an IRA QCD:
Contact your IRA administrator for instructions on how to request a qualified charitable distribution for The Magical Meadows. You may need to provide your administrator with additional details for The Magical Meadows including:
Legal Name: Magical Meadows Inc.
Address for Distribution: 3386 E 525 N, Warsaw, IN 46582
Tax ID: 26-1154624
Phone Number: 574-377-1946
Please notify our Executive Director, Michael Kuhn, about your incoming QCD and any designation for your gift at michael@themagicalmeadows.org or 547-377-1946. Some IRA administrators send checks with no identifying donor information, so sharing the details of your QCD helps ensure we can confirm receipt of the funds and make sure you are properly credited for the gift.
