A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can be a smart way to turn a required withdrawal into a meaningful gift.

A QCD allows you to give directly from your IRA to a nonprofit you care about. It can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD), potentially lower your taxable income and even help manage your future Medicare costs.

Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) allow people 70½ or older to donate required minimum distributions (RMDs) from an individual retirement account (IRA) and gain potential tax benefits.

Today, on Indigenous Peoples' Day, we recognize the Dakota people and the deep history of the Minnesota River Valley.

Our communities of Mankato and St. Peter are connected to the history of the 1851 Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, which took place just a few miles from where we live and work today. This day is an opportunity to reflect on the people, traditions, and stories that continue to shape our region.

Wishing everyone a day of learning, understanding, and appreciation.
