A Tax-advantaged way to support healtcare close to home
Give From Your IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to make a charitable gift directly from your IRA to the Western Missouri Medical Center Foundation through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
A QCD allows you to support the healthcare services, programs, equipment and patient care that matter to you while potentially providing important tax benefits.
Your gift can make a difference at WMMC today—and help ensure high-quality healthcare remains available in our community for generations to come.
Interested in Making an IRA Gift?
Getting started is simple:
1. Contact your IRA provider.
Ask about making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly to the Western Missouri Medical Center Foundation.
2. Request a direct transfer.
Your IRA provider can provide the necessary forms and instructions for sending your gift directly to the Foundation.
3. Let us know about your gift.
Contact the WMMC Foundation at (660) 262-7456 or [email protected] so we can properly acknowledge your generosity.
Why Consider an IRA Gift?
An IRA charitable gift can be a meaningful way to support WMMC while taking advantage of available tax benefits.
Support WMMC today.
Your gift can help provide the equipment, programs, services and resources needed to advance patient care.
Potentially satisfy your RMD.
Beginning in the year you reach age 73, a qualifying QCD may count toward all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD), subject to applicable IRS rules.
Potentially reduce taxable income.
A qualifying QCD is generally excluded from federal taxable income, subject to applicable IRS rules and limitations. A QCD that is excluded from income generally cannot also be claimed as a charitable deduction.
Benefit without itemizing.
Because a qualifying QCD may be excluded from taxable income, you may receive a tax benefit even if you do not itemize deductions.
Who Can Make a QCD?
If you are 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a QCD from your IRA to a qualified charitable organization such as the Western Missouri Medical Center Foundation.
Once you reach age 73, a qualifying QCD may also be used to satisfy all or part of your RMD.
QCD eligibility, annual limits and other requirements apply. Your IRA provider can help you determine whether your account is eligible and explain the process for making a direct transfer.
How Your Gift Helps
Your generosity helps the WMMC Foundation provide resources that strengthen healthcare in our community.
IRA gifts can help support:
- Advanced medical equipment and technology

Planning for the Future
