Year-End Giving: Give From Your IRA

If you're 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to Hope Ranch of Missouri. It's called a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD, and it must be completed by December 31 to count for 2026.

Tax-free: the gift isn't counted as taxable income.
Counts toward your RMD: if you take required minimum distributions, your gift can count toward this year's amount.
Up to $111,000: each person can give up to $111,000 through QCDs in 2026.

How to give

Ask your IRA administrator to send a qualified charitable distribution directly to Hope Ranch of Missouri. The gift has to go straight from your IRA to us. If the money is paid to you first, it won't qualify.

Payable to: Hope Ranch of Missouri
Mail to: PO Box 963, Union, MO 63084
Tax ID (EIN): 47-2328446

Please let us know your gift is coming by emailing info@hoperanchmo.org, so we can watch for it and thank you. We recommend talking with your tax advisor about your situation.

Invest in our Children.
Invest in our Community.

Providing care and support for
our community’s children
is an investment in our community’s future.

Studies show that society ultimately pays the costs if we ignore the needs of these at-risk children and youth. Whether it’s through incarceration, homelessness, and/or reliance on government assistance, unless—or until— the cycle is broken, our children are at further risk throughout their lives and directly…or indirectly… we will all pay.

Help us break the cycle. Help us provide a better future for our community’s children.
