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. Find out more: https://bit.ly/4hmPFKV
Donor-advised funds: Helping you help others
Donor-advised funds: Helping you help othersBeing 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. ⬇️
