Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

A tax-efficient way to support Wildlife for All

If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Wildlife for All—potentially reducing your taxable income while supporting more inclusive, science-based wildlife conservation.

Why consider a QCD?

Reduce taxable income
QCDs are excluded from your taxable income, which may help lower your overall tax burden.
Satisfy your RMD
QCDs can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) if you are age 73 or older.
Avoid itemizing
You can benefit from a QCD even if you do not itemize deductions.
Maximize impact
Give directly from your IRA without affecting your cash flow.
