As a retiree, you know how important it is to stay connected, supported, and informed. If you’re 70½ or older, you can use a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to lift up fellow retirees in a meaningful way. For those 73 and older, your QCD can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income.
A QCD is one of the most impactful ways to support RECOSA — and it costs you nothing out‑of‑pocket. Just direct your gift before December 31, 2026. RECOSA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and will send you a tax acknowledgment letter on or before January 2027 for your records.
Your generosity helps us provide vital resources, guidance and advocacy for retirees throughout the year. When you give through your IRA, you’re not just supporting RECOSA — you’re strengthening the entire retiree community.
Please be sure to consult with your financial advisor for more information regarding a QCD and RMD donation.
