Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)

At Prevent Blindness North Carolina, your support is vital in protecting and preserving the sight of countless North Carolinians. As we approach the end of the year, many of our partners and supporters choose to utilize a qualified charitable distribution to both support our life-changing mission, but also benefit their own tax situation.

By giving through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA, you can reduce your taxable income and make a significant gift to support our work. This form of giving allows you to maximize your impact without increasing your taxable income. For those aged 70½ or older, QCDs can be a wonderful way to contribute. They can even count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) at 73½ or older.  (Please consult with your own advisor for specific tax or financial advice specific to your situation.)

Consider a QCD gift this year—your generosity goes further than ever, helping to fund vital vision screenings, education programs, and resources right here in Iowa. This thoughtfulness helps us ensure that no one loses their sight due to preventable causes.  If you are considering a gift like this, please use the gift intention tool, so that we are made aware of your interest in giving through a QCD.  Please call 919-755-5044 ext. 107 to discuss this option further.

Thank you for considering this thoughtful way to support us. Your partnership means everything to us and the thousands of North Carolinians who rely on healthy vision every day.
