You can make a meaningful gift to the NF Midwest community in a way that makes financial sense for you. If you are 70½ or older, giving from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a wonderful way to support our mission while receiving significant tax benefits.

A Tax-Smart Way to Support the NF Community

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to donate directly from your IRA to a qualified charity like NF Midwest. This is a tax-savvy strategy that helps you fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.

Lower Your Taxable Income

Your gift is transferred directly to us and is not considered taxable income, which can help lower your annual income level.

Simplify Your Giving

A QCD is an easy way to give. Simply instruct your IRA administrator to send a direct transfer to NF Midwest.

Make a Direct Impact

Your gift will immediately help provide support and resources to individuals and families affected by NF in our six-state region.

How to Make a Gift from Your IRA

  1. Contact your IRA administrator to request a direct transfer to NF Midwest.
  2. Provide them with our information. Your administrator can mail a check directly to our office.
  3. Let us know your gift is on the way! This helps us process your donation correctly and ensures we can thank you for your generosity.

We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor to determine if a Qualified Charitable Distribution is the right choice for your financial and philanthropic goals.
