Give From Your IRA (QCD)

Support ALK Positive

Give Through a Qualified Charitable Distribution

A Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD, is a meaningful way to use your IRA to support research, resources, and connection for people living with ALK-positive lung cancer.

An IRA gift can create lasting impact.

Considering a QCD?

We are here to help with the information you or your advisor may need. Please contact us before or after initiating your gift so we can answer questions and thank you personally.

Give Through Your IRA (Qualified Charitable Distribution)

If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to ALK Positive through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This is a powerful way to support our mission while meeting your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

How it works

  • You must be age 70½ or older
  • You can give up to $111,000 each year from your IRA
  • Your gift can satisfy all or part of your RMD
  • You won’t pay income tax on the amount transferred

To initiate a QCD, contact your IRA custodian and request a direct transfer to:

ALK Positive Inc.
EIN: 85-2221062
PO Box 24960
New York, NY 10087-4960

Be sure to let us know so we can properly acknowledge your gift and express our gratitude. Please email us at fundraising@alkpositive.org with your name and donation details.
