Make a Tax-Free Gift to Fello from Your IRA
If you’re age 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, you can make a meaningful, tax-free contribution to Fello through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). You can donate up to $108,000 directly from your IRA—and if your spouse also has a separate IRA and qualifies, your combined gift can total up to $216,000.
If you are age 73 or older, QCDs can also count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. While most IRA withdrawals are taxable, QCDs remain tax free if transferred directly from your IRA trustee to a qualified nonprofit like Fello.
Here’s how to give:
1. Contact your IRA provider and request a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Fello.
2. Ask that the check be made payable directly to Fello and mailed to us at: 999 Corporate Blvd, Suite 300, Linthicum, MD 21090.
3. Ensure the gift is received and deposited by December 31 to count for this tax year. We recommend starting the process before Thanksgiving, as financial institutions often have early deadlines.
We will provide you with a receipt confirming your gift for income reporting purposes. If you have any questions or need support along the way, contact our Development team at give@fello.org.
Your generosity today builds a more inclusive tomorrow—for everyone.
