If you are 70 ½ or older, IRA gifts are a powerful way to support the Melanoma Research Foundation and possibly reduce your future tax burden. If you are subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMD), making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to meet your RMD without increasing your taxable income.
With this secure online tool, you can save time filling out all the necessary forms from your IRA custodian or printing out what you need to get started.

Secure the future of critical melanoma research by making a bequest to the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) in your will or living trust. Whether you add the MRF to your existing will or trust or create a will for free online through our partner, FreeWill, your gift ensures ongoing support for vital melanoma research initiatives.

If you’re 70 1/2 years or older, consider making a gift to the MRF directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). In many cases, IRA giving is 100% tax-free for eligible donors and represents one of the smartest ways you can support the MRF’s work because it allows you to give and save. For those who must take Required Minimum Distributions (RMD), an IRA gift can also count towards your RMD, without counting toward your taxable income for the year!

Consider donating appreciated stock and securities to support melanoma research and care through the MRF. This method is both cost-effective and tax-smart. You could be eligible for a tax deduction based on the full fair-market value of your donation and avoid paying capital gains tax.

By giving from your donor-advised fund, you may recommend how much and how often you want to give to the MRF. To recommend a grant, contact your financial institution, and notify the MRF by contacting us at donate@melanoma.org.

Non-probate assets (like an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts) are not covered by your will or trust. Using this free online tool, you can log all of your assets, name the Melanoma Research Foundation as a beneficiary to support our mission, and receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker
