Make Your Year-End Giving Count

November 4, 2026

If you’re age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to make a gift directly from your IRA to an eligible charitable fund, potentially providing tax benefits while supporting the causes that matter most to you.

Through the Watertown Area Community Foundation, your generosity can support local nonprofits, strengthen our community, and create a lasting impact for generations to come.

As year-end approaches, now is a good time to explore this giving opportunity with your financial advisor or IRA custodian.

Interested in learning more? Contact the Watertown Area Community Foundation to explore eligible charitable giving options.

 

Qualified Charitable Distributions must be made directly from an eligible IRA to a qualifying charity. Donor-advised funds are not eligible. Please consult your financial or tax advisor.
