QCD Donations

A huge opportunity

Baby Boomers are America's largest and most affluent generation, and collectively hold more than $9 trillion in their retirement accounts. More than 10,000 Boomers become eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution every single day. With an average gift size of $9,200, QCDs are rapidly becoming a major player in nonprofit fundraising.

Tracking gifts is a breeze

Our data and analytics tools allow you to track gifts even before donors send their paperwork into their IRA custodian. That means you can steward them as they complete the gift—and you’ll know that the check is on its way. The days of receiving untrackable, nameless checks in the mail are over!

Trusted by the smartest minds in planned & major giving

One of the QCD donors increased his giving, and gave high praise to the tool and the copy FreeWill provided us to promote it. He said it was so clear, very easy to understand, and something donors like him really need to know about.
