Give From Your IRA

Use your IRA to educate girls.

If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free distribution from your traditional or Roth IRA to Mercy Beyond Borders. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) and it’s an incredible way to support our mission of forging ways for women and girls in extreme poverty to learn, connect, and lead.

How It Works

You can donate up to $111,000 each year without incurring income tax on your withdrawal.

Here's the process:

  • Contact your IRA administrator to request a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your traditional IRA to Mercy Beyond Borders (EIN #26-0323282). This can be a one-time or recurring gift.

  • The funds must be transferred directly from your IRA to Mercy Beyond Borders.

  • Because the distribution goes directly to a qualified charity, it will not be counted as taxable income.

  • If you are age 73 or older, your gift may count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year.
