Right now, Doctors Without Borders teams are delivering urgently needed medical care in some of the world’s most challenging crises. Supporting this lifesaving work can take many forms. If you’re an IRA owner over the age of 70 ½, consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. It’s a powerful way to make an impact on the lives of our patients, and may also provide significant financial benefits to you! Normally, funds distributed from an IRA must be included in your taxable income. A QCD is an exception to this rule—funds go directly from your IRA to Doctors Without Borders without going to you first, thereby lowering your adjusted gross income and effectively reducing your income taxes. A QCD can also satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD). Because the IRS applies a "first-dollars-out" rule to your RMD, meaning the first dollars withdrawn from your IRA in a given year are automatically applied to your RMD, many IRA owners find it advantageous to make a QCD early in the year. Your gift to Doctors Without Borders will provide immediate, flexible funding to support our emergency medical response when crisis strikes.
