IRA Charitable Donations (QCDs)

  • Are you at least 70 ½ years old?

  • Do you have an Individual Retirement Account (Traditional IRA) in the United States?

If you answered yes to both, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) are the savviest way for you to maximize your charitable impact.

When you take a distribution from your IRA, it usually counts as income for tax purposes. QCDs, also called IRA Charitable Rollovers, are an exception. Individuals 70½ years of age or older can distribute up to $105,000 each year from their IRAs to their favorite qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations without the distribution counting as income.

IRS website has additional useful information on QCDs.

Note: The limit may increase annually to account for inflation.

Education

Zero waste is a totally different way of thinking about the environment and the economy.


Our educational programs and content help people connect the dots between their actions, larger systems, and our planet. We focus on teaching people how to make tangible changes that leave them feeling empowered instead of overwhelmed.

Organizing

The movement for zero waste is broad and there are tons of great people working on solutions.


ZeroWaste.Org supports people, orgs, and businesses by providing organizing resources, web services, and putting on events that celebrate the many ways people are working toward zero waste.

Advocacy

We can’t solve everything on our own! We need strong public policy to back our initiatives and help shape norms around waste.


We work closely with city and state legislators to push for policy solutions like universal composting, right to repair, plastic bag bans and more.
