Trust deeply. Live generously. Give joyfully.

Mail checks to Rolling Hills Community Church (3550 SW Borland Road, Tualatin, OR 97062), and we will apply your gift.

Giving online is simple, secure, and effective. Just CLICK HERE to enter your gift amount and information. We accept Credit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH Bank Transfer. ACH is our preferred method, as it reduces transaction fees and allows more of your gift to go directly toward ministry.

•  Determine the amount in dollars you would like to gift to Rolling Hills. Ask your financial adviser to identify which appreciated stock and how many shares of that appreciated stock you will need to donate to meet the dollar amount you determine to give.
• Give your financial adviser the Rolling Hills form to prepare to authorize the transfer of stock to Rolling Hills’s brokerage account at Morgan Stanley. You will need to sign the stock transfer form to initiate the transfer.
• Ask your financial adviser to email Margie a copy of the transfer form indicating the stock transfer and the date of the transfer. This is a vital step that is often overlooked. Unfortunately, there is no way to identify the stock with your name when it transfers into the church’s brokerage account.
• Upon receipt of the gift, the church will send you a non-cash donation acknowledgement letter. The IRS requires this letter for any gift over $250 so it is important to keep it with your tax records.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are at least 70½ years old to transfer up to $111,000 per year (2026 limit) directly from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charitable organization.

The amount of the QCD must be reported on your tax return as an IRA distribution, but it is not taxable. The QCD is far more beneficial than a non-QCD charitable contribution reported on Schedule A, as it lowers your adjusted gross income (AGI), on which many of the new OBBB tax benefit phase-outs are based. Also, due to the currently enhanced standard deduction, many taxpayers do not benefit from Schedule A deductions, so the QCD may provide additional tax savings, depending on your circumstances.

A QCD may be used to satisfy part, or all, of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income and may provide a tax-efficient way of supporting Rolling Hills Community Church.

Key Requirements and Details:

• You must be at least age 70½ at the time the distribution is made.
• The funds must come from an eligible IRA (most traditional IRAs qualify).
• The maximum annual amount for 2026 is $111,000 per individual, or up to $222,000 for married couples, if each spouse makes a QCD from their own IRA.
• The distribution must be made directly from the IRA custodian to the qualified charitable organization.
• The transaction must be completed by December 31 of the applicable tax year.
• Rolling Hills Community Church is a recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization and is eligible to receive QCD gifts.

Contact your IRA custodian to determine the process for initiating a QCD from your IRA. Please contact the RHCC Finance Department at 503-638-5900 if you have any additional questions.
