Direct transfer from investment funds
Individuals age 70 1/2 and older can distribute otherwise taxable traditional and Roth IRA amounts directly to certain tax-exempt charities. These distributions are called qualified charitable distributions (QCDs). They are federal income tax-free to the donor and qualify as your RMD for the year of distribution.
