If you’re over 70 ½, you may want to consider a gift in the form of a Qualified Charitable Distribution, or, “QCD,” commonly known as an IRA charitable rollover. A QCD is a distribution from your IRA made directly to a qualified charitable organization, like Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility.

Basic requirements and limitations include and are not limited to:

• the donor must be at least 70 ½ years of age

• the distribution must be from a Traditional or Roth IRA

• the distribution must be made directly from the IRA administrator to WPSR

• QCDs are limited to $100,000 per individual per year and must be made by year end

If you’d like to make a gift to WPSR, please contact your IRA administrator to arrange a direct transfer from your account in the form of a check payable to: Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, and mail to: WPSR | 2524 16th Ave. S #300 | Seattle, WA 98144 

To help you communicate with your IRA administrator, please find a sample letter to use HERE.

A bequest is a simple type of estate gift to make.  A bequest is an asset, a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of an estate to support Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility.  It can be made via will or trust, or a beneficiary form, and will benefit WPSR when the donor passes.

There are several advantages to making a bequest gift:

• a person preserves flexibility during their lifetime

• a person can avoid income tax

• a person produces an estate tax deduction

Here’s a Sample Bequest Letter that you can use. Please contact us if you have any questions about making a bequest to WPSR.

A gift in honor of someone celebrates someone or a special event, and a gift in memory of someone can be a powerful way to perpetuate values and ideals that have impacted someone’s life and others, even after they’ve passed. You can use any of the donation options you see on this page and let us know about who you would like to honor. WPSR will notify the appropriate family member or colleagues about your gift, but will keep the gift amount private.

Make a matching gift through your employer to double, or even triple, the impact of your gift. Did you know many employers offer matching gift programs to match charitable donations made by their employees? Each company has its own guidelines. Typically, the following donations may be matched by an employer:

• Gifts made by employees of the company

• Gifts from the spouses of company employees

• Gifts made by retirees of the company
