IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)




Do well by doing good. Northwest Public Broadcasting (NWPB) serves an educated, influential, and community-minded audience—your current and potential customers.

The Qualified Charitable Distribution of "QCD"

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution?

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), previously known as a “Charitable IRA Rollover,” is a tax-wise way to donate directly from your IRA to your favorite nonprofit organizations, including NWPB.

How Does a QCD Work?

If you are 70½ years or older and subject to a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA, you can instruct your IRA custodian to transfer up to $100,000 directly to a nonprofit. The key benefits:

  • The distribution counts toward your RMD.
  • The amount donated is not included as taxable income on your tax return.

This can reduce your taxable income while supporting Northwest Public Broadcasting.

How to Make a QCD to NWPB

Please direct your IRA custodian to make the distribution payable to:

Washington State University Foundation
PO Box 641925
Pullman, WA 99164-1925

Phone: 509-335-6686 or 800-GIV-2-WSU (800-448-2978)
Fax: 509-335-4788
IRS Tax ID: 91-1075542

To ensure your gift supports NWPB, please notify the Foundation or NWPB that your QCD is intended for Northwest Public Broadcasting.
