There are a variety of ways you can support Friends families, who never receive a bill for activities, counseling, or tutoring. Choose the giving option that is right for you, and your generosity will help children with cancer have a better today.
IRA Charitable Contributions (QCD)
You can contribute to Friends of Kids with Cancer from your IRA and potentially receive tax benefits.
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a distribution from your individual retirement account (IRA) to a qualified charity. You must be age 70½ or older to make a QCD. A qualified charitable distribution is not taxed, nor is it included in your taxable income. QCDs can help people 73 and over comply with required minimum distribution (RMD) rules. A qualified charitable distribution allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $105,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.
Contact your IRA administrator to set up your contribution today.
Stock
You may be able to make your charitable dollars go further by donating stock to a charity like Friends of Kids with Cancer.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)
You can recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund by calling your fund manager. Set up a recurring grant to sustain Friends' daily mission by contacting your fund administrator and choosing your grant frequency. You can continue the mission of Friends after your lifetime by naming Friends of Kids with Cancer as the beneficiary for your DAF.
