Charitable Giving Through Your IRA - An Informational Session
Discover how your retirement savings can do more than secure your future—it can be used for eternal impact. This informative session explores the powerful benefits of charitable giving through Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), including how Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) can reduce your taxable income while supporting your church or other ministries and causes God has placed on your heart. Whether you're a retiree, approaching retirement, or know someone that is - this session will clarify the process, inform on the potential tax advantages, and show how simple—and rewarding—this giving strategy can be. The session will also introduce other creative giving mechanisms beyond cash that may be beneficial for you to consider. Join us to learn how your generosity can go further.
Three options, same information. Pick the location and date that works best for you!
