Gifts from Your IRA
If you're 70½ or older, a gift directly from your IRA can be one of the most tax-smart ways to support families in rural Ethiopia. It may also satisfy your required minimum distribution.
Your IRA gift transfers directly, with no fees, and takes just a few minutes with your custodian.

- Provide our legal name, EIN, and mailing address exactly as shown below
- Your custodian sends the gift directly, QCDs must go straight from your IRA to us, not to you first, to qualify

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a certain age?
Yes. QCDs are available to IRA owners 70½ or older. The annual QCD limit is set by the IRS and adjusts periodically, confirm the current limit with your custodian or advisor.
Will this satisfy my required minimum distribution?
For most donors, yes. Ask your custodian to confirm how your QCD applies to your RMD for the year.
Do I get a tax deduction too?
No separate deduction. The benefit is that the distribution is excluded from your taxable income, which for many donors is more valuable than a deduction would be.
IRA gifts sometimes arrive without your name attached. Let us know it's coming so we can thank you properly.
