Charitable Investment

PFund is happy to receive donations via donor advised funds.

Donating Together

Workplace giving allows you to designate an amount from your paycheck directly to PFund Foundation (EIN 36-3567019), and/or have your donation matched by your employer.

Making an Impact

If you are age 72 or older, the IRS requires you to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year from your tax-deferred retirement accounts. A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a non-tax-deductible direct transfer of funds from your IRA, payable directly to a qualified charity (such as PFund Foundation) and can help satisfy your RMD for the year. QCDs are excluded from your taxable income at the end of the year.

If you’d like to consider making a distribution from your IRA, consult a tax advisor regarding your specific situation. If you’d like to support PFund Foundation directly through a QCD, please notify us directly when you donate, including the amount and your financial institution name.

Some financial institutions send us checks without the donor’s name, and we may be unable to acknowledge receipt of these gifts without this information. For more information please contact Kevin Kjonaas, kevin@pfundfoundation.org.
