Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you’re 70½ or older and own an IRA, there’s a special giving opportunity available to you. You can transfer up to $111,000 from your IRA to charity before the end of 2026, tax-free. (Married spouses can each transfer $111,000.)
These transfers—known as Qualified Charitable Distributions, or QCDs—count towards any required minimum distribution. But unlike standard IRA distributions, which are paid to you and taxed as income, QCDs go directly to the charity of your choice, and aren’t taxed at any point—so you save on taxes even if you don’t itemize.
By making a QCD to The Humane League, you’ll help create real change for animals while satisfying your IRA distribution requirements, reducing your taxable income, and maximizing the value of your gift!
To make a QCD of your own to THL, simply use the button below to auto-complete your paperwork. We’ll be able to track your gift and issue you the proper tax receipts.
Together, we can create a world where animals are treated as living, feeling beings. Your generosity will support our high-impact work to dismantle factory farming.
