SCCM is updating its SCCM Connect Community. Access to SCCM Connect may be limited until April 23.
Your donation helps advance the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) mission to improve care for critically ill and injured patients worldwide.
Earlier this week, SCCM reached out to nearly 600 critical care clinicians in Ukraine and the surrounding region to voice its support and offer the full breadth of its emergency response campaign. The email included links to free critical care educational resources targeted to mass casualty response strategies from SCCM’s LearnICU library. SCCM also requested information on conditions and needs of the medical community. Many have since reached out directly to SCCM to help leadership build a comprehensive list of contacts, understand the supplies and resources needed, and help formulate a targeted, strong emergency response. As partners in this humanitarian response, SCCM and Direct Relief have received unprecedented support from donors, pharmaceutical companies, and other industry partners. As a result, the two organizations are mobilizing support quickly and coordinating the delivery of essential medical supplies, medications, and personal care items. Again, I thank you for your support of our critical care colleagues as they work tirelessly during this humanitarian crisis. I am proud of the work we have accomplished in just a short time, but I know this is just the beginning of an ongoing, sustained effort to fulfill a duty to these clinical professionals and their patients. It is during these moments that SCCM’s mission to secure the highest-quality care for patients is most near to my heart.
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:
To make the most immediate impact with your gift, we would like you to 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.
Assist individuals and organizations delivering care in resource-limited areas. Your donation will provide materials and financial support for faculty and students who receive training through SCCM, including through the highly regarded Fundamentals courses. A gift of just $25 provides a student with all the training materials needed to improve their critical care practice.
Help SCCM respond quickly when critical care is severely impacted by a natural or man-made disaster anywhere in the world. Your gift allows SCCM and its members to be on the front lines providing services, volunteers, and essential ICU medical supplies and equipment to those impacted when disaster strikes. Donations also allow SCCM to contribute humanitarian items needed by patients and their families when traditional supply lines are disrupted, including hygiene products, diapers, formula, clothing, blankets, and more.
Help secure future advances for ICU patients by supporting SCCM’s research programs. Researchers are at the forefront of advancing knowledge that can be applied to treat disease, improve quality of care, and enhance patient experiences and outcomes. Your donation helps increase SCCM’s research in critical care and supports a broad range of projects, including research grants to young investigators, expansion of advanced research grants, and endowment of the SCCM-Weil Research Trust.
Support SCCM in improving quality and patient safety for the critically ill and injured. Patient safety is the cornerstone of SCCM’s quality improvement projects. A gift today benefits quality implementation projects such as the ICU Liberation initiative and guideline development.

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.
