Can I give a gift from my IRA and have it count towards my Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)?

The gift amount counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), and your taxable income is lowered by the amount of your qualified charitable distribution (QCD).

You can make the difference for wildlife.
Wildlife continues to face threats from overexploitation in the form of poaching and illegal trade in animal products, as well as a rapidly changing climate.
Due to existing conditions, 70% of all animal and plant species are at risk of extinction by 2050.
With your donation, WildAid can continue to motivate millions of people worldwide to take action that protects and preserves wildlife at risk.
