Qualified charitable distributions from your IRA
Give tax-free gifts from your IRA that can benefit The Dog Alliance’s mission and you.
About qualified charitable distributions
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for individuals who are age 70½ or older to make gifts directly from their individual retirement account (IRA).
QCDs can count toward satisfying an individual’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year, which is the minimum amount an individual must withdraw from their IRA each year once they reach age 73.

How it works
1. Instruct your IRA provider to distribute funds directly to The Dog Alliance
2. Enjoy the benefit of a tax-free distribution from your IRA, contributing toward your required minimum distribution for the year
3. Potentially reduce tax liability by excluding the distribution amount from taxable income
You will not receive a charitable income tax deduction for a qualified charitable distribution.
Benefits
1. Reduce taxable income
2. Counts toward your required minimum distribution for the year
3. Help provide service dogs, training, and lifelong support for veterans
