IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

If you are 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA is one of the simplest and most tax-smart ways to support the Air & Space Forces Association. If you are 73 or older, your gift can count toward your required minimum distribution for the year.

Your gift goes directly from your IRA to AFA, strengthening our work for Airmen, Guardians, and their Families. Because the money never passes through your hands, it isn’t counted as taxable income.

How to Make Your QCD Gift

  1. Contact your IRA administrator and request a Qualified Charitable Distribution to the Air & Space Forces Association.
  2. Provide our information:
    • Legal name: Air & Space Forces Association
    • EIN: 52-6043929
    • Address: 1201 S. Joyce Street, C6, 2nd Floor, Arlington, VA 22202
  3. Let us know it’s coming. Checks from IRA administrators often arrive without the donor’s name, so please contact development@afa.org so we can credit your gift correctly and send your acknowledgment letter.

AFA does not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult your financial or tax advisor about your situation.
