Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS (QCD)/IRA PAYMENTS

If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-advantaged gift directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to the CACNA1A Foundation. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to support our mission while potentially satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), all without adding to your taxable income.

To initiate a QCD or IRA rollover, please contact your IRA plan administrator to request a direct distribution to the CACNA1A Foundation. For account details, transfer instructions, or to notify us of an incoming gift, please contact Sunitha Malepati at sunitha@cacna1a.org.

DONATE STOCK

For United States-based donors, donating appreciated stock to the CACNA1A Foundation is a tax-wise approach to helping us cure CACNA1A-related diseases. Donors choose to make gifts to the CACNA1A Foundation using long-term appreciated stocks due to the attractive tax advantages associated with such gifts.

To give shares (stocks, mutual funds, or other securities), your broker can electronically transfer a gift directly to our account at Charles Schwab. To complete an electronic transfer, please contact Sunitha Malepati at sunitha@cacna1a.org
