(Available to U.S. taxpayers age 70½ and older)
If you’re age 70½ or older and have a U.S.-based IRA, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—a tax-smart way to support the KCNT1 Epilepsy Foundation. A QCD allows you to transfer up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to a qualified nonprofit like ours, without counting the distribution as taxable income.
Why Consider a QCD?
- Tax Benefits: QCDs are excluded from your taxable income, which may lower your tax burden—even if you don’t itemize deductions.
- Simple and Direct: Your IRA administrator can send funds straight to the KCNT1 Epilepsy Foundation on your behalf.
- Impactful Giving: Your gift helps accelerate life-changing research and supports families facing KCNT1-related epilepsy.
