“As a parent of a recently diagnosed 11 year old, diaTribe has been an invaluable resource for myriad reasons ranging from simply learning about diabetes those first few weeks, to getting a giggle from Fingersticks, to following news and stories about the artificial pancreas, to getting tips for managing t1d day to day. We were on the site the day we arrived home from the hospital, and continue to check in several time a week if not each day. Knowledge is power!”

Stock donations transferred to our account aren't accompanied by donor information. We want to be sure we can acknowledge your charitable donation of stock and send you a tax receipt, so please be in touch. We ask that you (or your broker) contact Alex Cameron ([email protected]), Senior Manager of Individual Giving, to let us know the kind of shares you are donating, the number of shares and the transfer date.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a smart way to benefit The diaTribe Foundation and receive tax benefits in return. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) are distributions from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) made directly to a qualified nonprofit organization, without having the distribution counted as taxable income. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money. For married couples, each spouse can make QCDs up to the $100,000 limit for a potential total of $200,000.
This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD. Gifts from IRAs can be set up to be recurring distributions—so that each year you can receive the tax benefit and make an impact with your gift.
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are amounts that you must withdraw annually from your Traditional IRA, once you’re eligible. If you do not withdraw your RMD, you will face a penalty tax of 25% of the required withdrawal amount. QCDs can be used to meet this RMD requirement and avoid penalties. Read more about RMDs on the IRS website
Please contact Alex Cameron ([email protected]), Senior Manager of Individual Giving, if you would like more information about making a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA.
Workplace Giving and Matching Gifts
Many corporations will match their employee gifts to charitable organizations, effectively doubling or tripling your personal gift to The diaTribe Foundation. Ask your employer if they have a matching gifts program and if you need more information please contact Alex Cameron ([email protected]), Senior Manager of Individual Giving.
Many companies will also let you set up automatic, tax-deductible donations from your paycheck. It’s a no-fuss way to donate. Reach out to your employer’s Human Resources or Corporate Social Responsibility team to ask how you can sign up for donations through payroll deductions.
