In the past year, NIF has worked persistently to respond to the crises of October 7 and the threats to the country’s democratic character by defending Israel’s democratic institutions, protecting minority rights, pushing back on anti-democratic forces, and promoting a resolution to the ongoing conflict and an end to the occupation.

Your annual gift is essential to sustaining this work, and one of the easiest ways to put your values into action is by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA.

When you make a gift from the funds in your IRA, it counts towards the minimum you must withdraw from that account every year, and you incur no federal income tax from any withdrawals going directly to NIF. 

QCDs are a great way to make your annual gift or even start a named endowment fund at NIF, creating a legacy that reflects your values.

To see more about eligibility and how to arrange a QCD from your IRA, visit our website. 

Please be in touch with Becky Buckwald, NIF’s Chief Planned Giving Officer, if you have questions, need assistance, or if you would like to talk over some options for planned giving to NIF. She can be reached at becky@nif.org and would love to hear from you.

Particularly in this incredibly tough year, NIF is grateful for your partnership.
