MAKE YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION
Tips on charitable contributions if you have an IRA:
Did you know that you can directly transfer funds from your IRA to a qualified charity – tax free !?
Tip 1:This type of donation is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). IRA owners aged 70½ or older can donate directly from their IRA to Surgicorps International. The distribution is tax-free meaning that the transferred amount isn’t included in taxable income. (Note: The max contribution, free of tax, is 100k)
Tip 2: Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) refers to the amount of money that folks over 72 are required to withdraw from their IRA, annually.
Tip 3: Donating to a QCD can satisfy part or all of your RMD. Therefore, you can elect to donate your RMD to Surgicorps International, up to 100k, tax free!
Disclaimer: You do not get an additional tax deduction for the charitable contribution on your tax return. The benefit comes from reducing your taxable income, which will indirectly lower your overall tax liability.
QCDs usually save more for non-itemizers and reduce AGI-based tax thresholds. Consult a tax advisor for tailored advice.
Thank you for considering Surgicorps International for your RMD !

LINDA ESPOSTO LEGACY FUND
In 2017, Linda Esposto, Surgicorps’ long-time staff leader, began her glide into retirement. Since that time, more than 275 individuals contributed over $150,000 to the Linda Esposto Legacy Fund and their contributions were matched by the Demos Family. The result of this investment in the future of Surgicorps, the Linda Esposto Legacy Fund, will honor and help to sustain Linda’s long-standing commitment to making life-changing surgeries and medical care possible for those in need around the world.
The Linda Esposto Legacy Fund will provide annual distributions to future-focused priorities. They include: 1) one-time or multi-year capacity-building investments in the countries we serve such as equipment and/or facility enhancements; 2) volunteer service recognition with trip subsidies to inspire future travel; 3) regular exploratory travel to build the potential for more annual trips; and 4) funding for special needs and/or initiatives to help us respond to challenges and opportunities.
For more information about the fund: info@surgicorps.org.
