Thank you for considering donating to Cascadia Wildlands. Here are other ways to give.
Make a qualified charitable distribution through your IRA, donate securities and crypto currency, and participate in Bottle Drop!
MAKE A QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION FROM YOUR IRA
Many Cascadia Wildlands supporters who do not need their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for living expenses have choosen to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to us instead — supporting our mission while enjoying the tax benefits. In 2025, an individual 70.5 or older can donate up to $108,000 as QCD directly from your IRA to Cascadia Wildlands—tax-free. $216,000 if married filing jointly.
A QCD counts toward your RMD, and contributions must be made directly from your IRA custodian to Cascadia Wildlands by December 31 to qualify for the current tax year. Each financial institution has its own QCD process, so be sure to reach out to them and follow their specific forms and requirements to ensure your gift qualifies.
* Please email Executive Director Josh Laughlin (jlaughlin(at)cascwild.org) or call the office at 541.434.1463 with any questions about making a QCD or to inform us of your plans.
