Qualified Charitable Distributions

Make a gift that benefits you and animals in need.

A Tax-Savvy Way to Give

Your IRA can provide a tax-smart way to make an impact for animals at Oregon Humane. The Qualified Charitable Distribution or QCD (sometimes called an “IRA Charitable Rollover”) is a great way to make a tax-free gift now to Oregon Humane and satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution, too.

Step 1: Make a Gift

To make a QCD gift to Oregon Humane, contact your IRA administrator to request a rollover from your IRA. Oregon Humane’ tax ID number/EIN is 93-0386880.

Step 2: Notify Us

Please inform Oregon Humane of the details of your generous gift, including: your legal name, the gift amount, which financial institution or custodian is sending the distribution, and if the gift will be sent by check or transfer.

How Do I Qualify?

The Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) offers multiple benefits for making gifts from your IRA. 

  • You must be 70½ years or older at the time of the gift. 
  • Gifts must go directly from your IRA to Oregon Humane. 
  • For 2026, total QCD gifts cannot exceed $111,000 per donor.
  • For 2026, the election limit for a QCD to a split-interest entity (e.g., a charitable remainder trust or gift annuity) is $55,000.

Benefits of Qualified Charitable Distribution

  • If you don’t itemize your income tax deductions, a QCD offers all of the benefits of an itemized income tax charitable deduction. 
  • If you are age 73 or older and must take a Required Minimum Distribution RMD, a QCD gift can satisfy your RMD without increasing your income taxes.
