Join Connectedly for a conversation on how you can use your IRAs Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to give back in a smart, tax-efficient way. We will walk through how Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) work, the tax benefits they can provide, and how recent legislation impacts charitable giving today. We will also touch on donor advised funds and how they fit into an overall giving strategy. If you are already charitable inclined, this session will help you see new ways to support the causes you care about while making the most of your retirement assets in a tax efficient way.
