IRA Donations

If you are at least 70 ½ years old, consider a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA or employee retirement plan to support the rare disease community. A gift of your retirement assets puts your funding to use today while recognizing tax benefits. Initiate a donation from your retirement account with NORD’s Tax ID #13-3223946.

Donor-Advised Funds

A grant from your donor-advised fund helps NORD provide vital care and services to the rare disease community. Contact your fund manager or financial institution to recommend a gift to NORD (Tax ID: 13-3223946) and receive an immediate tax deduction. Let us know of your gift at [email protected] so we can thank you for your generous support.

NORD’s Rare Caregiver Respite program was an absolute lifeline for our family this past year. With the respite program, I was able to select a family friend who I trusted, who was already adequately trained to handle my daughter’s needs, and I could have her provide respite whenever I needed it. The reimbursement process was easy, and payment was received promptly.
