IRA DISTRIBUTION

Make a Tax-Wise Gift from Your IRA

If you're age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Prairie Public — and make a lasting impact on the programs you value most.

Benefits of an IRA Charitable Distribution:

• Avoid income taxes on up to $105,000 per year in IRA transfers to Prairie Public
• Satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) if you're 73 or older
• Lower your taxable income — even if you don’t itemize deductions
• North Dakota residents: Gifts of $5,000+ to Prairie Public’s endowment fund may qualify for a 40% ND state income tax credit

A gift made directly from your IRA will never count as income — but it always makes a difference!

How to Give

Contact your IRA plan administrator and request a qualified charitable distribution be made directly to:

Prairie Public Broadcasting
207 N 5th Street
Fargo, ND 58102
Federal Tax ID: 45-0276899

Please note: If you receive the distribution first and then donate the funds, it will not count as a QCD. We recommend consulting your financial or tax advisor to ensure your gift meets all requirements.
