Charitable IRA Rollover
Donors 70.5 and older are eligible to make a tax-free gift to Susan G. Komen directly from their IRA called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). These gifts are tax-free, regardless of whether or not you itemize deductions on your tax return and can lower your taxable income. If you have to take a Required Minimum Distribution, QCDs are one way to reduce the tax liability
The Next Generation of Research Leaders Fund
The Next Generation of Research Leaders Fund aims to ensure that a diverse group of highly trained scientists who reflect the communities we serve will emerge as leaders in breast cancer research. All gifts to the fund will help Komen invest in outstanding breast cancer researchers in the early stages of their careers.
Stock Gifts
Gifts of appreciated stock and securities are a cost-effective and tax-friendly way to fund research and care for those facing breast cancer. You may be eligible for a tax deduction based on their full fair-market-value and avoid paying the capital gains tax.

Designate part or all of your IRA and other retirement or bank accounts, or life insurance policies to Susan G. Komen and make a meaningful gift toward helping end breast cancer.
