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.

Being able to support the causes you care about can be one of the most meaningful parts of your financial journey. A donor-advised fund (DAF) may help you extend that impact even further.

A DAF enables you to make charitable contributions now and qualify for a tax deduction, while recommending grants to your favorite charities on your own timeline. Over time, your fund may grow, creating even more dollars to give.

Explore whether a DAF is right for you. ⬇️

Learn how donor-advised funds work, the potential tax benefits, and how DAFs can help you support the causes you care about with charitable giving.
