Did you know a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be a simple, tax-smart way to support causes you care about?
By giving directly from your IRA, a QCD may help reduce taxable income while also counting toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Many choose this option as a way to support meaningful programs, including Benevolent Care at Covenant Living.
If you’re curious how it works, your financial advisor or IRA provider can help you explore whether it’s a good fit.

Starting a conversation about assisted living with a loved one can feel emotional and even overwhelming—but it’s also one of the most caring things you can do.
Have you noticed small changes in your loved one’s daily routine or safety that have made you start to wonder what the next best step might be? These moments can be hard to talk about, but they often open the door to meaningful conversations about support, comfort, and quality of life.
Assisted living isn’t about losing independence—it’s about gaining the right level of care while continuing to live as fully and safely as possible. Approaching the topic with patience, empathy, and genuine listening can help make the conversation feel less like a decision and more like a shared journey.
If you’re beginning to explore assisted living options, our team is here to support you with guidance, answers, and compassion every step of the way. bit.ly/4bH6BIg ... See MoreSee Less
