IRA Gifts & Beneficiary Designations
Make a difference today. Leave a legacy for tomorrow.
Your retirement savings may offer a meaningful way to support children battling cancer and their families, both now and in the future.
Whether you make a charitable gift directly from your IRA or name The Toby Keith Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement account, your generosity can help ensure OK Kids Korral remains a place of comfort, care, and hope for generations to come.
Give Directly From Your IRA
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a charitable gift directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to The Toby Keith Foundation.
Known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), this type of gift allows you to support OK Kids Korral while potentially receiving valuable tax benefits.
A QCD may allow you to:
- Make a charitable gift directly from your eligible IRA without including the qualifying distribution in your taxable income.
- Satisfy all or part of your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), if applicable.
- Support a cause you care about without needing to itemize deductions.
For 2026, eligible individuals may make up to $111,000 in qualified charitable distributions annually. This limit is adjusted periodically for inflation.
How to Make an IRA Charitable Gift
Step 1: Contact Your IRA Administrator
Let your IRA custodian know you would like to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to The Toby Keith Foundation.
Step 2: Request a Direct Transfer
Your IRA administrator will arrange for the gift to be transferred directly to the foundation. To qualify for the applicable tax treatment, the distribution must meet IRS requirements.
Step 3: Let Us Know About Your Gift
We would love the opportunity to thank you and ensure your gift is properly acknowledged.
Because IRA distributions sometimes arrive without identifying the donor, we encourage you to notify us when arranging your gift.
IRA Charitable Gift Notification
Thank you for choosing to support OK Kids Korral through a gift from your IRA. Completing this form helps us identify your contribution when it arrives and ensures we can properly acknowledge your generosity.

For the Children. For the Future.
Name the Foundation as a Beneficiary
A simple way to leave a lasting legacy.
Another meaningful way to support OK Kids Korral is to name The Toby Keith Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA or other eligible retirement account.
This type of gift generally does not require changing your will or trust. You can often update your beneficiary designation directly through your retirement plan administrator.
You may choose to leave a specific percentage or all of the remaining account balance to the foundation.
Your future gift can help provide a lasting source of support for children battling cancer and their families.
