Maximize Your Impact With an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

Did you know you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve while enjoying tax benefits? If you are 70½ years or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS).

Why Consider a QCD?

  • Tax Advantages: A QCD allows you to reduce your taxable income, even if you don’t itemize deductions on your tax return.
  • Satisfy Your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD): If you’re 73 or older and required to take a minimum distribution from your IRA, a QCD can count toward your RMD.
  • Support Our Mission: Your gift ensures JFCS can continue providing critical services to individuals and families in need across Maricopa County.

How It Works

  1. Contact your IRA plan administrator to initiate a QCD.
  2. Provide our legal name, address and tax ID for the transfer:
    Jewish Family and Children’s Service
    4747 N. 7th St., Suite 100, Phoenix, AZ 85014
    Tax ID: 86-0096781
  3. Ensure the distribution is made directly to JFCS to qualify as a QCD.

Important Details

  • Gifts up to $105,000 per year may qualify as a QCD.
  • The amount transferred directly to JFCS will not be included in your taxable income.

Your Impact

A QCD is a simple and powerful way to support our programs, from providing mental health counseling to helping seniors maintain independence. Every dollar you give through a QCD directly benefits our community.

For more information or assistance, contact Tina Lopez, CFRE, vice president of philanthropic services, at 480-679-9131 or Tina.Lopez@jfcsaz.org. We’d be happy to work with you and your financial advisor to ensure your gift makes the greatest possible impact.
