Thank you for supporting Northeastern, and we look forward to your continued support in 2026!

If you are at least 70.5 years old, you may direct a distribution from an IRA as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). For those age 73 or older, a QCD may also count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA. You pay no income tax on the transfer, and you may reduce your taxable income for 2025. To direct a QCD, checks must be payable directly to the 91°µÍø Foundation (Tax ID is 23-7034689) and should be sent to the 91°µÍø Foundation at 5500 North St. Louis Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60625.

As always, please consult your financial advisor or tax preparer, and visit for more information. Visit the 91°µÍø Giving website to make a year-end contribution to the 91°µÍø Foundation.
