Qualified Charitable Contributions

A Qualified Charitable Distribution, often called a QCD, allows individuals age 70 ½ or older to give directly from an IRA to the Lauren McCluskey Foundation. Many supporters choose this option because it can count toward required minimum distributions and may reduce taxable income.

How it works

You can request a QCD through your IRA custodian or financial advisor and have the gift sent directly to the Foundation. When completing the request, please use the information below:

Lauren McCluskey Foundation

Address: 1256 SE Bishop Blvd Ste J, Pullman, WA 99163

EIN: 83-3050829

Including your name with the transfer helps us acknowledge your gift and thank you properly.

Why many donors choose QCDs

IRA gifts are a simple way to support the Foundation using funds you’ve already set aside for retirement. They provide flexible support that helps us expand our programs and continue the Foundation’s mission, without requiring you to write a check or make a credit-card gift.
