IRA Gifts / Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs):
If you’re 70½ or older, you can direct up to the annual IRS limit from a traditional IRA tax-free to MSP. If you’re 73+ and subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs), a QCD can count toward your RMD while potentially reducing taxable income. Ask your IRA custodian to send the gift directly to MSP.

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can make a powerful difference.
