Thanks to the generosity of members, individuals, corporations, and foundations, SCCM is able to provide high-quality support for the critical care community. A generous gift today will help SCCM to:
Thanks to unprecedented donations from SCCM members and partners, SCCM was able to rapidly deploy aid to Ukraine. Through donations to its Disaster Relief Fund and with the support of its partners, SCCM is providing free education to regional clinicians, translating training materials into Ukrainian and Polish, and helping deliver medical supplies and and humanitarian aid. SCCM is also helping keep Ukranian hospitals and ICUs operational by awarding over $800,000 in grants.
To make the most immediate impact with your gift, please consider making your donation to SCCM a sustaining gift. All sustaining gifts will allow the Society’s leadership to direct funding to areas in which need is most acute.
Help provide training and education to individuals and organizations throughout the world, with a focus on resource-limited areas and areas impacted by emergencies or disasters. Training and education are most often provided through the highly regarded SCCM Fundamentals courses but can include education targeted to a region or situation. Your donation supports faculty and students, subsidizing the cost of travel and course supplies. A gift of just $50 provides a student with all the training materials needed to improve their critical care practice.
When a disaster strikes, donations make it possible for SCCM to respond quickly to help patients and the medical community. SCCM has responded to more than 47 man-made or natural disasters worldwide since 1990. Your gift supports the delivery of essential ICU medical supplies and equipment, volunteers, and other humanitarian aid efforts, including direct delivery of hygiene products, diapers, formula, clothing, blankets, and more. $50 provides one month of personal care items for a crisis-affected family of four.
Fund SCCM’s research programs, which support the next generation of critical care and bolster important work that results in improved patient outcomes. Researchers are at the forefront of advancing knowledge that can be applied to treat disease and improve quality of care. Your donation supports research grants for young investigators, helps expand advanced research grants, and provides endowment of the SCCM-Weil Research Trust. Fund one hour of critical care research with a donation of $50.
Guideline development and implementation are vital to improving patient safety. Your gift supports rapid guideline development and helps ensure the implementation of these life-saving measures through quality improvement programs, such as the ICU Liberation Campaign.

Giving to SCCM can be a benefit in many ways. Not only does it allow SCCM to help to improve the lives of the critically ill and injured around the world, it can also make a positive impact on your personal income taxes. You can withdraw money from your individual retirement account (IRA) and donate it to SCCM using a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).
Giving to SCCM can be a benefit in many ways. Not only does it allow SCCM to help to improve the lives of the critically ill and injured around the world, it can also make a positive impact on your personal income taxes. You can withdraw money from your individual retirement account (IRA) and donate it to SCCM using a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). What Is a Qualified Charitable Distribution? A QCD is a withdrawal of funds from an IRA made with the intention of donating it directly to a qualified charity. A qualified charity must be a 501(c)(3) organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. You may qualify for a QCD if you have a traditional IRA, an inactive SIMPLE IRA (meaning you and your employer are no longer contributing to the account during the same tax year in which you are making the charitable contribution), an inactive SEP-IRA, or an inherited IRA. Certain rules apply. Roth IRAs may be eligible for a QCD but withdrawals will be subject to tax. What Counts as a QCD? An IRA distribution must meet all the following requirements to be a QCD: 1. It cannot occur before you, as the IRA owner or beneficiary, have reached age 70½. 2. It must meet the normal tax law requirements for a 100% deductible charitable donation. If you receive any benefits that would be subtracted from a donation under the normal charitable deduction rules (such as free tickets to an event), the distribution cannot be a QCD. 3. It must be a distribution that would otherwise be taxable. A Roth IRA distribution can meet this requirement if it is not a qualified (tax-free) distribution. Important Points to Remember • If you inherited an IRA from the deceased original account owner, you can donate using a QCD from the inherited account if you have reached age 70½. • The maximum annual amount that can qualify for a QCD is $100,000. This limit applies to the sum of QCDs made to one or more charities in a calendar year. • There are several tax advantages of QCDs. Please contact your financial advisor to discuss these.
