Qualified Charitable Distribution

At Gifted Wishes, we believe in the power of fulfilling final dreams for hospice patients. With your support, we can bring comfort, joy, and dignity to individuals and families facing life's most challenging moments.


What is a QCD?

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a unique opportunity for donors aged 72 or older to make tax-free donations directly from their IRA to qualified charities like Gifted Wishes. Instead of just taking your mandatory RMD, you can direct some of your IRA distribution to us at a huge tax advantage to you, while you make a meaningful impact on the lives of hospice patients in need.


How Your QCD Makes a Difference:

  • Comfort and Closure: Your donation enables us to fulfill last wishes, providing comfort and closure to individuals in their final days.
  • Family Support: By granting final dreams, we offer solace and support to the families of hospice patients, helping them find peace during a difficult time.
  • Community Impact: Your generosity extends beyond individual recipients, uplifting our entire community and fostering compassion for those in need.


Making a QCD to Gifted Wishes is simple:

1. Contact your IRA custodian to initiate a tax-free transfer to Gifted Wishes.

2. Provide them with our information:

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Jean@giftedwishes.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.


Please remember to always consult with a tax advisor first, or financial planner to ensure compliance with IRS rules and to understand the specific implications for your individual situation.

 Donating money from an IRA to a nonprofit after age 72 involves a process called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) 


 You must be at least 72 years old to make a QCD. If you turn 72 after December 31st, then you must be at least 73 years old.


  The maximum annual amount that can be donated tax-free via a QCD is $100,000 per person.


QCDs count towards your required minimum distribution (RMD) but are not included in your taxable income. This can provide tax benefits, especially if you don't itemize deductions.


You should receive documentation from your IRA custodian and the charity for tax reporting purposes.
