If you're age 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to WUCF.

Many supporters choose this giving option because it allows them to make an immediate impact while potentially offering valuable tax advantages. Your gift helps ensure WUCF continues providing trusted journalism, educational resources, local storytelling, arts programming, and inspiring music for everyone in Central Florida. Because every donor's financial situation is different, we encourage you to consult your financial advisor or tax professional. 

A Qualified Charitable Distribution may allow you to:

• Support WUCF with a gift directly from your IRA.
• Potentially reduce your taxable income. **
• Count your gift toward your Required Minimum Distribution (if applicable). **
• Make an immediate investment in trusted public media.

** Please consult your financial advisor, tax professional, or IRA custodian regarding your specific circumstances and current IRS regulations.

When requesting your Qualified Charitable Distribution, please ask your IRA administrator to include your name and mailing addresswith the distribution whenever possible.

Occasionally we receive IRA gifts without donor information, making it difficult to thank you and ensure your gift is credited correctly.

IRS regulations prohibit donors from receiving goods or services in exchange for a Qualified Charitable Distribution. As a result, gifts made through an IRA QCD are not eligible for thank-you gifts or other donor benefits tied to a contribution.

We are always grateful for your generosity and will gladly acknowledge your gift with our sincere thanks.
