End of year reminder – Everence provides creative giving tools: As we enter the season of giving, Everence offers a number of ways to increase your charitable impact.
- Open up new roads of generosity with gifts of a range of assets, and Everence can help you coordinate, manage and administer those gifts into real and lasting impact.
- Consider gifts beyond cash – securities, real estate, life insurances, farm commodities, collectibles and more.
- Remember to make qualified charitable distributions (QCD) from your taxable IRA before the end of the year.
- Qualified charitable distributions are made directly to the eligible charity and don’t increase taxable income.
- Create a charitable giving plan with an Everence professional. Learn more at everence.com/charitable-giving.
