If you’re 73 or older and required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA, you can use it to make a lasting impact — completely tax-free. 

If you are not yet 73, please consider forwarding this email to relatives and friends of qualifying age. 

By making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to FACETS, you can: 

✅ Donate directly without increasing your taxable income 

✅ Avoid paying taxes on the distribution — letting your full gift help more neighbors in need 

✅ Satisfy your RMD requirement while supporting families, children, and individuals in crisis right here in Fairfax County 

Instead of withdrawing your RMD, paying taxes, and donating what’s left, a direct contribution ensures your entire gift helps people experiencing homelessness and poverty rebuild their lives.

How to do it: 

Contact your IRA custodian and request a direct transfer to: 

FACETS 

10700 Page Avenue, Suite 160

Fairfax, VA 22030 

Tax ID: 54-1425480

Thank you for considering this powerful, tax-smart way to give back and change lives in our community. 

With gratitude,

FACETS Development Team
