It's true: Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) from traditional IRA accounts are having a moment. An aging U.S. population and tax law changes that took effect January 1st are making them more appealing than ever to donors age 70.5+.
So what exactly are QCDs? Why are they so beneficial for mature donors? And how can they help nonprofit organizations secure larger gifts and raise more money in 2026?
In this webinar, we'll share new research on IRA giving and how QCD conversations with older donors are evolving. We'll cover what the data reveals, where nonprofits may be missing opportunities, and what it means for your fundraising strategy this year.
- Why mature donors are pivotal to your 2026 fundraising
