If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your traditional IRA directly to the Florida Wildlife Federation. This tax-smart gift can help protect Florida’s wildlife, waters, and wild spaces while also reducing your taxable income.
Give Through Your IRA
Does IRA Giving Make Sense for You?
✔ You’re 70½ or older*
✔ You have a traditional IRA
✔ You take the standard deduction
*If you are 72 or older, your gift may also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Benefits of Giving via IRA
- Avoid income tax on your distribution
- Count your gift toward your RMD (if age 72+)
- See your impact immediately protecting Florida’s lands, waters, and wildlife
How it Works
Step 1 – Contact your IRA administrator and request a direct transfer to the Florida Wildlife Federation.
-
- Tax ID (EIN): 59-1398265
- Address: PO Box 6870, Tallahassee, FL 32314
Step 2 – Your administrator must send the funds directly to FWF, or it may be treated as taxable income.
Step 3 – Tell us about your gift via email or phone (contact information below). Because donor information doesn’t always come through with transfers, please notify us so we can thank you and ensure your gift is used as you intend.
Helpful Resource
We’ve created a sample letter template that you can fill out and give to your IRA administrator to request a QCD.
