Giving through your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a meaningful and tax‑efficient way to support Arizona’s Family to the Homeless (AZFH) while helping individuals and families facing homelessness and crisis across the East Valley and Maricopa County.
IRA Giving, also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), allows eligible donors to turn required retirement distributions into life‑impacting support for our mission.
What Is an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a direct transfer of funds from an IRA to a qualified nonprofit organization.
Individuals who are 70½ years of age or older may be eligible to make a QCD directly from their IRA to AZFH without the distribution being counted as taxable income.
IRA Giving may be a valuable option for donors who:
- Are required to take annual distributions from their IRA
- Want to support charitable causes in a tax‑efficient way
- Prefer to give directly from retirement assets
Benefits of IRA Giving
IRA Giving can offer several potential advantages, including:
- Distributions are made directly from your IRA to AZFH
- Gifts may count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
- QCDs are not included in taxable income (subject to IRS rules)
- Giving through an IRA may reduce overall taxable income
Each donor’s situation is unique, and AZFH encourages donors to consult their financial or tax advisor to determine if IRA Giving is right for them.
