Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

Donating appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds) can provide significant tax benefits, allowing you to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value. Learn more through your trusted financial advisors.
