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.

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.
