Make a Gift from Your IRA with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

Your gift may satisfy your IRA’s required minimum distribution (RMD) and reduce your taxable income. You can choose to donate to BrightFocus or one of our programs.

We’ve invested in this secure, online tool to make giving an IRA charitable gift easier than ever. It helps you fill out the necessary forms for your IRA custodian, designate your gift to support our mission, and learn more.

Benefits of an IRA charitable gift:

  • Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA to our organization
  • May satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year
  • Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions
  • Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts
