Make a Gift from Your IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you can meet your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to Fòs Feminista. Your gift may reduce taxable income and help advance reproductive health, rights, and justice worldwide.
If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to Fòs Feminista. This gift can help you satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while reducing your taxable income—even if you don’t itemize deductions.
Federal law allows individuals to transfer up to $108,000 per year (or $216,000 for married couples) directly from an IRA to qualified charitable organizations without the withdrawal being treated as taxable income.
Which accounts qualify?
QCDs must come from an IRA and be made payable directly to Fòs Feminista. 401(k), 403(b), and other retirement plans are not eligible, but you may be able to transfer funds from those accounts into an IRA first—speak with your financial advisor to learn more.
How to make your gift
Contact your IRA custodian and request a “Qualified Charitable Distribution” payable to:
Fòs Feminista
125 Maiden Lane, 9th Floor
New York, NY 10038-4730
Tax ID: 13-1845455
If your custodian mails the check directly to us, please instruct them to include your name and address so we can send you a written acknowledgment (while this acknowledgment cannot be used for a charitable deduction, it is important for your records).
Important: Funds must be transferred directly from your IRA to Fòs Feminista. If you withdraw the funds and then write a personal check, the amount will be treated as taxable income.

Tax considerations
The transfer is excluded from federal taxable income and may satisfy all or part of your annual RMD if you are 73 or older. State tax rules vary—consult your tax advisor to understand how a QCD may affect your state income taxes.
