- Provide your IRA plan administrator with the following information:
- The Music Center's Tax ID number: 95-2217011
- Legal Name: Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County
- Please request that your administrator issue a check. The check should be made payable to The Music Center, with the reference "Qualified Charitable Distribution" in the memo line. Ask your administrator to mail the check to:

- Given the influx of year-end gifts, kindly request your QCD from your IRA administrator by December 15th so The Music Center can receive and process the check no later than December 31st, to ensure you receive the full tax benefits of the gift.
