Are you required to take a minimum distribution from your IRA? Would you benefit from a lower income on your tax filing? If you answer “YES” to both of these, consider making your donation to Northwest Public Broadcasting through a charitable IRA qualified charitable distribution. Giving this way means donating all or part of your required minimum distribution directly to a qualified charity such as NWPB—and will not count as income.

IRA qualified charitable distributions are an increasingly popular way to give, with many NWPB supporters choosing this option. Your financial advisor can help you decide it this is right for you. When you talk to your financial advisor or IRA agency to request a qualified charitable distribution, the following information may be helpful. Charitable contributions to Northwest Public Broadcasting are directed to
