Gifts from Your IRA
A simple, tax-smart way to support our mission from your retirement savings.
- Give Through Your IRA
Turn Retirement Savings Into Real Impact
If you're 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support our mission. By transferring funds directly from your IRA to LEAD International Development, you can make a meaningful gift while potentially satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.
This type of gift allows you to support programs in education, health, humanitarian response and community development, while making the most of your retirement assets in a way that benefits both you and the communities we serve.
The process is simple: your IRA administrator sends the gift directly to us, so the funds never pass through your hands as taxable income. It's an easy way to give more, while keeping your overall tax picture in mind.
