A tax-savvy way to end abuse!

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD's) from Your IRA

You’ve heard about the many creative ways you can support The SAFE Alliance and create a safe community free from violence and abuse.

SAFE supporters 70.5 or older can maximize their impact with our mission, and maximize their personal savings: with a tax-free gift from your IRA.

What is a QCD?
A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) custodian, payable to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year, if certain rules are met. In addition to enjoying the benefits of giving to and supporting SAFE, a QCD provides a tax advantage by excluding the amount donated through the QCD transfer from your taxable income.

Qualified Charitable Distributions present a powerful way to provide immediate support and services to families struggling with abuse across Central Texas. Whether or not you’ve heard of these gifts before, we have a free tool to help you learn more and get started on this mutually beneficial gift.

Free Online Tool Makes QCD Donations Easier for Donors
SAFE has partnered with FreeWill to provide a free online tool to make it easier for SAFE supporters to donate QCDs.  This free online tool takes 10 minutes to complete and can be used to:

●     Create your QCD to support The SAFE Alliance

●     Request a tax acknowledgment letter for a QCD you’ve already made

●     Download the forms you need if you’d prefer to finalize your QCD offline

●     Learn more about QCDs and giving from your IRA to see if it’s right for you!

Consider this tax-savvy gift to help break the cycle of violence and abuse, and help save on your tax bill. And, thank you for all you do for SAFE!
